Juste à point, et excellent. Assez soyeux, bien pourpre de robe, minéral, corsé, épicé ; pas très complexe, mais bonne présence fine et veloutée... Excellent !

On the nose a really mature wine, but on the palate very much alive and kicking, very smooth, but neither complex nor multilayered. No sign of dried fruit and still rather dark.

An amazing surprise. I found this on the "Time to Drink Up" list a while back and just got around to it. It opened with a beautiful, soft but full nose and drank like velvet. Still had fruit and of course, no tanins. I thought I was opening it to taste and toss it out... We ended up drinking it over the afternoon with some other wines (1995 Beaucastel CDP and a Puilly Fuisse) and it was really good. Great treat.

Fully mature now. Still enough bite to keep it interesting. There is fruit, oak and pleasant tannin. Also complexity. A great effort for this domain. No hurry drinking this, although it will not improve anymore.
