9.3

Surprised nicely by this expressive nose that goes on and on with layers of aromas such as blackcurrant, plum, moka, cedar, vanilla and licorice. The mouth is medium bodied and very approachable right now, medium tannins with some softness and silkyness in terms of texture, fruit and balance as well on a finish that has decent length and is very good, drinks like a charm. Comparable to a good Bordeaux but no need to wait 10+ years. 92-93

Nez qui m’a agréablement surpris car très expressif et très aromatique avec beaucoup de complexité et des couches d’arômes. Réglisse, vanille, fruits noirs, cassis, moka, cèdre, prune. La bouche est de corps moyen, très approchable malgré la jeunesse, du fruit en masse, fraîcheur et précision, des tannins assez souples et de touché fort agréable mais avec quand même une belle structure, bien équilibré, savoureux. Se compare à un bon Bordeaux mais sans attendre 10-12 ans, une belle surprise pour moi.
