  Friend's bottle, so unsure if it was aerated prior to service. Very much in line with another bottle that I'd opened. "PnP that was quite enjoyable and fully delicious. It's a few years away from its preferred plateau so there's not a lot of complexity just now, but from a sheer enjoyment/flavor standpoint, yes, this is in the zone. Somehow snagged several of these at $34 on a flash site (that's pretty much the price at the cellar door), and it over-delivers that price point, no real surprise. I've two left that I'll be sure to enjoy in the coming 4-5 years as I want a good dose of the lovely primary fruit to still be around when I do. 13,5% abv." Totally recommended

  Ouvert 4 heures en avance.
  Robe rouge sang, nez expressif sur le cuir, le sous-bois, le cassis, les épices. Au palais, le vin est équilibré, plutôt masculin, avec une longue finale.
  Tout à fait à point ce soir.

  An incredible nose of dark cherries and wood, followed by a similar palate. Forgot to take detailed notes at the time, but this was exceptional, esp for the price.

  Deep purple color. Nose was restrained upon opening but quickly opened within 5-10 minutes. Raspberry, blackberries, cloves and spice on the nose.
  
  On the palate, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries - lots of dark berries. A hint of pepper and graphite. Restrained and elegant. Chewy tannins. Very nice, but on day 2, it quickly faded in the glass.
