  The wine is a bit past its prime at this point. Dark red with granite colour on the edges. Fine sediment. Floral nose, with dark fruits. The brambly aromas are a bit more prevalent now.
  Full bodied without being "heavy", decent balance, medium acidity, medium dusty tannins. Good dark berry fruits to open. Plums, hit of garigue/herbs. Tar (?) and a slight bitter streak to the finish.
  Medium length on finish. Tasty but on the downside.

  Dark red, black core --- Nose cardboard, some cherry, some sourness, wheat --- Palate cool, thin, red fruit, nice tartness, sour cherries, some herbal aspects, some earthiness --- Finishes long on cherry fruit, minerals and earthy tones, sourness always present. This is nice vine, appealing and captivating, everything pure and expressive, still appears young, excellent acidity. A pure pleasure after 8 years of cellaring. Might even improve.

  Vin toujours très riche et dense. J'ai perçu une certaine évolution depuis la dernière fois et à l'aveugle, on pouvais difficilement établir l'origine de ce vin. Épices sucrées, cuir, fruits noirs. Les tannins sont toujours là mais se sont assouplis. Le bois était moins présent. J'ai de la difficulté à me prononcer si c'était "meilleur" que la dernière fois mais c'était délicieux avec un gigot d'agneau. Après 4-5 heures en carafe, il commençait à s'essoufler.

  Complex - dark fruit, oak and earthy smells. Fantastic Malbec - why trave l to Argentine? Delicious wine, good balance - pair with food our on it's own. Looking forward to my next bottle.
