  Full body, with lots of meaty, pepper, black cherry and dried herbs. After a couple of hours more earthy notes started showing like black truffle, forest floor, and moss. A touch of oxidization, with an almost port like on the finish.

  This wine was at its peak about an hour after opening, with an enticing nose and the kind of restrained flamboyance you sometimes get from aged CdP - cherry kirsch and furry leather. 7-8 hours later the bitter coffee characteristics are coming through. Time to drink.

  More understated than the Senechaux. Leaner and less concentrated too but no overripeness. It is time to drink this as it already reached peak and the descend is on the horizon.
