What a wine! The nose is so complex with blackcurrant, blackberry, raspberry, dark cherries, tar, oak, mushrooms, autumn damp forest soil, tobacco, cigar box... this is great. The palate is superb! Big, broad and long, with some width, some matter on the sides, some nice black and red berries all along, a touch of oak, a silky mouthfeel that rolls on the tongue, integrated tannins that caress and hug in the rear, and a very long finish with the same berries, a subtle drying layer, some oaky touches, a savoury note and eventually some bitterness that pops up in the very end. This is 16 year-old and kicking. This is grand !
I should add that I had a glass of this using my coravin a few months back and the wine wasn't showing as well as it does now. — 22 days ago

Summer starts with this. Passion fruits on the nose, and a bit of acidity. — 5 years ago

A bit odd but a wine that I really liked. Iron, hard cherry candy drops, a bit of smoke. A strange mix for sure but it works (for me). Full bodied and generous. — 8 years ago

Me parece um pouco mais evoluído do que deveria para 15 anos de idade, mas acabou que a mistura de amendoas, fruta madura e relativa baixa acidez acabou harmonizando perfeitamente com a comida — 5 years ago

Nariz: frambuesa, cereza, algo de flores, bosque, setas

Boca: Tanino M/M+ , Acidez M, Alcohol M.

De cuerpo liviano, pero los taninos engañan un poco ya que estan aun por resolverse por completo. Puede estar mas tiempo en botella.

Légère réduction à l ouverture , carafe puis le vin s équilibre et on a un grand Languedoc pas encore très complexe , mais un superbe équilibre et une belle bouche fraîche — 8 years ago

Tasted blind:

Med+ intensity, lots of black fruits, stewed cherries, cherry pie, underlying new oak, beginning to just show some tertiary character.

Palate was ripe, med+ tannin, med acidity. Similar flavors on the palate. A bit of black pepper and cinnamon. Good finish.

Initial conclusions were either a a high quality southern Rhone producer, possibly Languedoc (Mas Du Mas Gassac), perhaps a Minervois, an Italian super Tuscan (similar to 'Ornellaia), Napa (in a cooler vintage) and only was Bordeaux a final guess! — 10 years ago
