Used in cooking, and drank the rest. Rich, ripe, fruit, terrific C du R. Absolutely none of the "poopy" notes experienced by another taster; that might have been a bad bottle. This was a good, enjoyable bottle.

Perhaps an off bottle, but this was positively poopy. Straight out of bottle it showed good berry compote, nice acidity, a good C-d-R, but within a couple of minutes the fecal aspect took over. Overpowering the fruit, there wasn't much to do except let it sit and hope it blew off, which it never entirely did (over 3 1/2 hours). Some barnyard is fine... but this was the whole manure pile.

It was surprising drinkable for a wine that was supposed to be over the hill

Nice showing for the vintage. not much fruit left but nicely earthy with leather. Classic aromas and elegant weight for the vintage.

Sour cherry and leather - quite nice. Still lively but don't think it will get any better. Good qpr at 15 EUR per magnum
