45 minute decant. Dark garnet red color. Aromas of dark berries, black cherry, herbs and dark chocolate. Medium to full bodied palate is ripe stone fruits, red berries, cocoa with cedar and spice notes. Silky tannins and medium acid lead to a smooth finish. Drinking well now!

Huh, much better than my previous btl, but maybe a better food pairing (porcini, gruyere sausages). On the nose, loads of wild strawberry, spice, some watermelon candy, loads of wood, but (now) very well-integrated...downright sexy. On the palate, good acidity, nice mouthfeel with blueberry and vanilla. On the finish, finely grained tannin that has a nice velvety feel. This bottle is really excellent!

Restrained fruit with almond finish. Split views on how it went with coq au vin (M100 in sauce)

well made; restrained fruit and not a lot going on in my mouth. Turned pruney on day 2; minus points for that, but is not reflected in the score.

This wine has mellowed slightly, but had lots of depth, and was very supple.
Black cherry, hints of chocolate and tobacco and minerals.
