Iron and blackberry right off the nose. There is airy clove and black current quality to it that seems to disappear on the tongue. It reminds me of super fine, dark chocolate. The image that comes to mind is a living oak tree— it tastes alive. Pair with pets for a Beauceron, a loyal, intelligent, devoted dog breed that is known for guarding livestock. Sit in front of a fire, drinking this wine while eating some dark chocolate. Or better yet, a hearty filet mignon that you can share with your new Beauceron best friend.

Quite restrained. Very silky. Midweight. Some meat juices, forest floor. Not my fave but tasty and would have it again.

Tasted at 15 vintage vertical dinner : 2006 Cos d'Estournel was wild with lots of forest floor, truffles and grilled meats on the nose, and muscular body.
