  Not unpleasant st this stage but unbalanced and at or past peak
  Sweet dark fruits, spices, some tertiary aromas ( wet forest floor)
  Overall it gives a feeling of declining fruits while the tannins feels harsh and green with medium acidity. it is only saved by some sweetness but is definitely declining before reaching any kind of complexity.
  Decanting: none to really light, it improves in the first 15min in the glass but then fruits quickly fade.
  Ageing: as fast as possible. Tannins is so way ahead to be resolved while fruits is close to gone.

  Verticale de la cuvée Reine des Bois du Domaine de la Mordorée (À la maison): Nez de bovril et sel de céleri, ça s'annonce mal... La bouche est mieux, ronde et goûteuse, mais trop évoluée, c’est une bouteille imparfaite. Non notée.

  Terrific. Deep, rich dark fruit. Tannins resolving but some backbone remains. Not declining.

  Chez Dalluge does Momofuko w/ Champagne, Whites, & Reine des Bois Vertical (Chez Dalluge, MN): Very dark red color. Drank a glass over 90 minutes. In a flight of '04, '05, and '06. The '04 was the clear winner here and probably took the nod over the '98 in the full vertical we did. Nice cherry notes, black cherry, savory, lots of leather and earth, garrigue, onion skin, medium full bodied, still a touch of hold on the tannins. The '05 is quite dense and ripe, dark fruit, blackberry, blackberry liqueur, full bodied, plum, heavily spiced, some grip here too. The '06 is also pretty darn big, ripe, creamy texture, rich and sappy, but sharper on the back end and a little tougher overall.
