  No detailed notes taken. This had some great moments and traits with superb, alluring red berries at the core, good complexity and precision nd ultra fine tannins. But in the end, this is no success as the 2018 vintage shows brutally: a bit too ripe, too dense but especially quite some alcohol heat on the nose and palate. 91pts at best.

  Nice and long finish. An elegant, precise and detailed wine. precise Sour cherry and red cherry fruit. Meaty aromas and fine floral accents. Grounded by wet earth and underwood. Very present red cherry fruit on the palate, fresh acidity and decent length finish while still tangible tannin. Kept 1/4 of the bottle for next day which helped to smoothen the palate and emphasize the elegance.

  Opened at the All-Star Dinner by Zachy's in HK. P&P and bottle breathed, small glass sample.
  
  This is a big wine, and it was definitely way too young to drink this. Reductive aromatics, but with a bit of air you can coax some red and blue fruit coming out. Silky smooth on the palate and the tannins are present but not unpleasant - Roumier magic I suppose at this young age.
  
  I'd hold and revisit in at least 5+ years, probably even longer. Scored as is now but definite upside and expect this to creep up.

  Dark and brooding throughout the night. Nose of stems, strawberries, slight herbal and herbaceous lift. PnP palate showed tight and bold, with brambly black fruit. With a hour, opened up to more of that signature velvety goodness and silky mouthfeel with some dark red fruits - the sweet spot was right here.
  
  The second half of the bottle was decanted for 2 hours. With that came out more cherry cola and black licorice, big black cherries, with some damp earthiness. After another hour, it mellowed out into a really good spot. 94 today (2017 vintage from September was showing better), but brimming with potential (95+)

  开瓶就能感受到浓郁凝结、细腻诱惑的果味，红樱桃、覆盆子之类的红果，同些许黑樱桃和黑莓这样的黑果交织在一起，暗色调的玫瑰，仿佛香水一般，勾连着中后段淡淡的奶香、纵深的森林气质以及一点如细烟般的檀香，平添些许神秘感。入口酸度高，单宁多而紧致，质地细腻，光滑伴随轻微粉质。此时以黑果为主，多黑樱桃、黑莓，饱满细腻，中后段有香料粉和轻微森林感，花香自掩其中，回味长。
  
  冰着醒酒器醒酒一个小时后，香气和口感都变得晶莹剔透起来，此时树莓、覆盆子之类的红果从黑果的包围中突出，有一种柔美“脆弱”的质地，仿佛转瞬即逝的朝露。两个小时后，仿佛嗅到了山间突然盛开的野花，草莓、覆盆子、红樱桃，盛放但美妙轻灵，带着微风吹拂而来的森林气息。口感也扩张开来，丝滑细腻的单宁，要融化一般，整体柔美清新，又有几分丰腴和妖娆动人。随着之后的醒酒，香气越来越动人，无论是香气还是口感，都太香了，一直喝了四五个小时。95/100
