Hmm, another Lafarge and another 2005 that’s not quite there yet... maybe another 5 years? At first a bit pokey and acidic, with some air it showed more red fruit. Overall it is a bit muted and reserved, only starting to show a touch more after 2 hrs open.

Cherry, raspberry, dark earth with an underlying sweetness on the nose. Floral notes flit about but difficult to pin down. Somewhat shutdown, this did not have the complexity that the nose would have otherwise implied. Tight tannins on the backend with chalky notes overall. Should perform better with time. Was not a great pairing with seared lotte.

樱桃、覆盆子、草莓的红色水果香气,甘草、香草和少许的泥土气息。香气的复杂度一般,但入口质感的表现很好,柔和、圆润,带有一丝甜美感。轻盈的酸度和逐渐积累成型的单宁为酒体结构带来变化的过程,一定程度上弥补了香气变化的不足。

Enjoyed this a lot. Soft, focused palate with considerable depth and elegance.
