There was a bit of VA initially on the nose that blew off. The nose is mature with some red berries, funky notes, and forest floor. Good acidity on the palate and quite resolved at this state with tart berry and orange zest notes. Good finish. A treat to drink this wine, although it has probably seen better days; it was very enjoyable nonetheless.

After the last few showings, this was a pleasant surprise. Don't get me wrong. It won't replace 2004 or 2007, or any other vintage, really, but it is in a much better place. The alcohol still stands out, but it was toned down tonight and it was showing some of its usual goodness.

Consistent with the last note. This wasn't a great Berangères, but it was a lovely dinner companion.
