Deep red and opaque, decanted ine hour, fresh scents of tree bark, herb and plum, dark and masculine with a touch of elegance from the balance, juicy and rich at the same time, the palate opens with flavors of mixed berry, raspberry, leather and herbal spice, strong structure, in harmony, it was just amazing with steak dipped in ponzu, drink it or hold it, great beef match

Another excellent bottle. As expected, a rather muscular wine, but in this vintage there is ample freshness and very good complexity. Really lovely. My only complaints are that the prices on these (and their excellent Rose) have risen quite a bit and that these more moderate vintages are coming less often, with huge ripeness more the norm lately.

Mineral, currants, effervescent and high acidity. Very interesting. Rhymes with a Cote Rotie.
Improved on Day 2.
