  Ripe blackberry core, leather, barnyard, violets. Lovely complexity and poise; fleshy and spicy palate; crisp; long finish. Medium to full bodied but piercing acidity keeps it fresh and moreish. Wonderful winemaking. Getting to peak and I suspect can stay there for quite some time.

  Much better after a night in the decanter, but still relatively closed with some spicy dark fruits. Cellared since original release.

  Fruity and relatively undeveloped. Attractive drinking but will still improve for a long time. Cellared since original release.

  Un beau Tempier générique que voilà!
  Concentré, puissant et assez fin, bien que porté par une finale chaleureuse (14,5°). L’acidité est bien là cependant, les tanins sont présents, rehaussés par une mineralité un peu dure.
  Très belle aromatique sur les fruits noirs, la mûre, le cassis, et des épices. Pas encore d’olive ou de cuir, il semble jeune! Mais la phase d’évolution n’est pas loin, elle frappe à la porte…
  91/92

  Good berries, blackberries. Bit of fizz - fault? Decanted for an hour.
