Deep ruby-purple in appearance. A brooding nose of cassis, blackberry, and dark plums, followed up by crushed graphite, mint, cedar pencil, and a hint of dark chocolate. The palate is full-bodied and statuesque yet supple, held together by firm, heavy tannins (7.5/10) and lively acidity. Layers of ripe black fruits, mocha, and sage are mixed with roasted earth and savory oak spice. The finish is long, plush, and persistent, marked by seamless texture, crushed stone minerality, and a lingering floral lift. Drink till 2050. — 15 days ago
The nose bursts with ripe yellow peach, mandarin, and dried pineapple, layered with brioche and a hint of white flowers. The palate is plush yet electric, with creamy texture quickly cut by vibrant lemon zest and a light salinity. The finish is precise and long. — 4 months ago
Plush and rounded. Sweet fruit. Lush and long. Very good shape. Still vibrant — 2 years ago
Very 2003. Plush, leaning a touch overripe for my palate, but still well-managed. On the nose: dense black fruit, with loads of plum. Lovely density, weight and acidity. Comes off more elegant on the palate. Softer tannin than expected on the finish, but maybe it was just covered up by ripe fruit. — 4 years ago
Nice red. Fruity but not too sweet. — 6 years ago
