Tasted over 3 hrs -nearly semi-translucent dark red, mild clearing -moderately aromatic earthy dark red fruit -med acidity, med weight and concentration earth iron cherry faint spice element emerging, opens up with air, fine grained med tannins -still a little reserved on the palate but nonetheless in early stages of what should be a long maturity window

PopnPour, tasted over 2 hrs -nearly semi-translucent, minimal bricking -low-key earth iron faint dark cherry sous bois and very subtle whiff of acetone-like VA -med/med+ acidity, med weight subtle but not somber iron dark cherry soil, med+ tannins -old school somewhat closed masculine starting to develop some subtle mature elements but really this needs a lot of air or several more years to open up

Slow-ox 30 minutes, tasted over 3 hrs and day 3 -ruby with minimal clearing at edge -moderately aromatic stony earthy cherry -med acidity, med weight, still a bit of cherry fruit beneath a predominantly soil/earth element, med/med+ chewy tannins and a gentle kiss of oak on the moderately long finish; more expansive and fleshier with stewed cherry note on day 3 -muscular yet approachable, solid, not flashy, drinking fairly well now but will be better in several years after tannins further resolve and then should continue to age well for a decade, this is hefty by the vintage and producer standards in keeping with its appellation

Un peu trop tannique, très légère verdeur, mais belle allonge. À boire.
