Well, procrastination after the last bottle was terrible 4 years ago paid off. Tannin's have softened and the wine gained a bit of elegance. Not very long but has some pleasurable moments. An actual drinkable bottle with some interesting notes.

Kept at 55ºF & 65% humidity. Dark color with slight bricking at the edges. Nose was a little austere. Mid palate was medium-full bodied and expressive of black fruit. Medium-long finish with some drying tannins.

I held high hopes for this wine coming off the back of the excellent Mes Favorites, sadly the ledger is now also balanced. Sure it has good dense black fruits, some nice meat and soil earthiness but there is an overt Cognac cask oak thing going on. I just found this character too obtrusive and would be interested if anyone else had tried this wine from bottle.

Drink Up. On the decline, fruit drying up and tannins overtake the mouth. Sinewy on the finish. Too late and still a bottle left.
