We opened this at just the right time, although it still has lots of life left. Earthy & leathery undertones seamlessly integrated with beautiful fruit & oak notes that now show restraint. Good structure, with the acidity, tannins & body all working well together. One of those bottles where each new pour gets better as it evolves, and where 750 ml just wasn’t quite enough.

youthful...integrated...popped and poured and each glass got better over an hour. Cassis, brambleberry, earth. Not over the top ....nice and could easily age 10 more.

I'm glad we opened this, the cork crumbled in the process. Dark wine, cassis and leathery flavours.

Assez bon, mais ça manque de corps et de fruits pour accompagner les tanins qui sont demeurés assez présents même après quelques heures en carafe.

Jetzt auf dem Höhepunkt. Holz und Frucht im Gleichgewicht. Wunderbar intensiv und lang.
