  Couleur grenat profond avec des reflets briques, assez lourd, grosses jambes lentes. Beaucoup d'extraction.
  Nez de cerises compotées et de fruits noirs plus frais (cassis). Belles notes d'épices, sur un fond boisé et réglissé.
  Attaque souple laissant apparaitre un mélange de fruits compotés sur un fond de bois assez marqué. Caractère empyreumatique assez marqué.
  Belle finale fruitée et boisée sur des tanins parfaitement intégrés.
  Un 2007 tout à fait charmeur et bien équilibré. Un fruit qui domine toujours bien l'élevage.

  Popped and poured. Quite a bit of funk on the nose initially, which went away after 20-30 mins. Vegetal and slightly sour bouquet. Very soft and smooth on the palate, minimal structure, medium-light mouthfeel, round tannins. Has a sour unpleasant note that translates from bouquet to palate. Did not like much; would not repeat. Maybe past its prime?

  This was very good and continued to get better over a couple hours. Lots of complexity with grippy tannin and delicate, feminine fruit. Enjoyed with a pesto dish.

  Not a lot going on here. Coffee and old leather is all I get. Not bad but I would not buy it again. The second night it went downhill.
