Decanted for 2 hrs. Spicy and earthy nose. Elegant on the palate, tannins very refined and well integrated. Medium length. Wine was enhanced with food (coq au vin). Nice to drink, but will probably still improve.

Expressive nose in the very earthy spectrum but also with dark fruit, forest notes, smoke. The palate is well balanced and the tannins integrated, not lean at all as some 2001s. Well balanced palate, long finish. A very good showing.

This is now totally open, even though there is still tannin left. Glorious mid palette and well structured.
