A gorgeous bottle which opened up even quicker than expected. Beautiful and expressive showing red currant, violets, mocha, dried herbs, silky tannins and a hint of saddle leather. Finishes with excellent length and depth.

Wednesday Wine Committee. 1 sparkler, 2 whites, 4 reds and 1 dessert wine. All tasted blind as usual.
Much better compared to the ‘98 it shared the table with. Much more lively...black peppercorn, tar, bay leaf, rose petal and a density in the middle without being too heavy. Tart red and black fruits all over the entry and finish. Still on the upward trajectory. I called this CdP.
