  • Bought at an auction. PnP.
    This was ready out of the gate and a perfect pairing for an entrecôte. Drinking beautifully now, hard to see any upside.

  • Medium ruby with a tiny rim of garnet. The nose exhibits pronounced dark fruits with herbs and a lovely freshness. (Probably from the medium plus acidity.) The palate is dry, full body with juicy dark fruit and lovely fine grained tannins. Cabernet Sauvignon really adds elegance. The 2022 is now available in Canada for $124. Such a great value that will continue evolve and impress. Love it.

  • After a two hour decant, the nose is very pretty with kirsch, honeysuckle, and dark fruits, with hints of pepper and mint. Good integration of fruit and ripe tannins that caress the palate and feature a dark-fruited, herbal character. A moderate finish. Perhaps would merit a better score if the finish left an exclamation point, but enjoyable and holding well. No rush to drink, but I don't see an upside, and will drink my last bottles within the next five years or so.

  • At prime drinking right now. A classic super Tuscan with dark fruit and persistence.

  • Opened 2 hours in advance, pouring a glass to check it out during that time and to open the neck of the bottle.

    Opted for not decanting and choosed Zalto burgundy stems to follow the evolution during dinner. Last previous bottle I opened was in 2015

    Deep dark ruby, still very young in color.

    The nose is very focused on mature black currant, black cherry and cassis. A touch of more balsamic notes lingering around; spearmint and liqorice. After the first phase it starts showing more earthy notes, some wet leather but always very clean en focused.

    Balance is the motto of this wine. Complex but not over complicated.

    In the mouth the acidity shows its nice presence while the tannins are fully integrated. velvet touch. Medium long finish.

    In the last 7-8 years it has lost a little bit of the previous exuberance, although very elegant, and gained that earthy touch. That said it hasn't changed so much.

    Kept in climat/humidity controlled cellar

    Wish I had more bottles of this 2004.
