  Light ruby, maturing edge. Complex aromatics of subdued red fruit, some char, and a touch of green. Lighter weight, a touch of sweetness, but mostly savory flavors of light red fruit and wet earth. Some persistent tannin, but this is at least 80% of the way towards full maturity. Good village wine and one of the more pleasing Pacalets I've had from this general period of production.

  surprisingly aged in color. sweet fruit, cola and flowers on the nose. short finish and very thin in the mouth. wouldn't let this age any more.

  if delicately flavored red burgundy flowed from a fresh mineral spring, it would taste like this. how delicious. slight bricking at the rim which brightened as it sat in the glass.

  A wow from the scent alone, which combines all sorts of perfumed floral and spicy elements with incredibly pure red fruits and berries and a rocky, gravelly aspect underneath. There's already tremendous complexity and a sense of seamlessness to this with the way the fruit, spice, florality and earth all combine into a whole that's far greater than the sum of all parts, and an acid spine that keeps it incredibly precise and elegant.

  Superb stuff. Gorgeous fragrance to this -- both stony and savory and impossible to describe with much more precision than that, but the key thing about it is that the word "fragrance" really is apt as opposed to the various synonyms one could use that don't have quite the same pheromone-tickling connotations. It's got richer, rounder fruit than I'm accustomed to from 2006 but with a weight that's almost entrancing for its delicacy, and the craggy minerality is practically pixelated in its high-rez detail.
