  A bit of a serious wine with decent aromas of blue fruits, chalk, a bit of stable, blackberries and cassis. Its well oaked medium bodied a bit foursquare lightly saline blue, black and red fruits palate has good freshness, length and tannin. 13%. Drink in 5-10 years. Needs 2-3 hrs aeration. 91/92. I have the 2003 at home. A good food wine. I had this with a nice rump steak done rare in pepper sauce and this was a perfect match.

  醒酒两个小时，深紫红色，闻香有青味，醋栗一类酸果的香气，还有一些奶味，入口酸度中高，单宁紧涩，颗粒细腻，酒液咸，收口微甜，青椒和石墨类香气为主，中等酒体，状态还有点封闭，后段有点短，感觉到一些酒精感，余味以奶味为主，酒体紧实，结构坚挺，还需要进一步醒酒才能有更多表现。建议陈年。

  Intense and seductive aromas with this slightly rustic overtones with a tighter fruit tone of blackberries, a little stable, graphite and deep salt layer that creates complexity. Good full-bodied and pronounced fresh wine with this slightly coarse rusticity that teases in the middle with great fruit of blackberries, blackcurrants, graphite, salt layers, licorice, leather and wood on a tighter, but excellent finish. Nice acidity and very nice tannin structure. This can withstand a good 15 years.

  Dark and brooding on the nose with earthy, mineral, smoky, dark fruit notes. Quite tannic and grippy, rustic in a good way. Ripe fruit, quite pure and bright, minerality towards the finish. 91-92+
