DAY 1
Served with VINLOQ
👃Red berries with anise, cardamom, clove, licorice. Became perfumed
👅Earthy, herbals, spices & fruit. Light
tannins

“Slow Decanted” remaining wine in my refrigerator

DAY5
👃More detailed with red fruit, 5 spice, ash, green leaves & purple flowers. Elegant & seductive
👅Silky and classy. Med body. Great finish. Needs a touch more midpalate intensity but it is refined, charming and irresistible

DAY 10
Still drinking well but not hitting all of the subtle notes

Slow Decanting preference:
Day5>Day1>Day10

What a nice bottle, classy and elegant vegetal and green pepper notes that only Rougeard can do as a signature. Everything is there, class, texture, contained power, fruit, length, balance, gorgeous.

Quel beau vin! Des notes végétales avec classe et élégance, on retrouve cela chez Rougeard seulement. Un vin savoureux, du fruit, des notes fines de poivron mais à peine, longueur, volume, texture, tout y est malgré un millésime moyen.. 93-94
