A very special and rare wine indeed. In the glass, this is still a very deep and dark purple. The nose is saturated with blood, raw meat and pepper. Full of intensity and power. This is not even close to nearing the end of its life and will last another two decades easily. Just a wonderful wine and a real treat. Served by SJW.

Wines Tasted at HDH Auction (Tru - Chicago IL): A very rare cuvee that I have only had once (10 years ago). Powerful gamy aromas with savory spice, leather and lots of ripe black berries, but the structure to balance. This has that old school, almost rustic charm in the best possible sense.

Blind. Some 'Cordier' funk on the nose, blue and red berries, very structured, high acid, some tannin, linear, promising.
