Have to say at almost 20 years old still bringing it. The fruits were still active and the tannins were present, but not oppressive. Drank quite well. For the price point I thought it was pretty decent — 3 months ago

The nose is different. Much more woodsy and less fruit than I’d have imagined. The flavour profile was blackberry based and again, some wood. Some eucalyptus and green grass. Also some wet soil and cloves. The tannins weren’t a punch in the face by any means, but also haven’t haven’t completely softened as you might expect in a ten year-old. The palate was uninspiring as there was a watery-ness in the mid palate. I’m not sure whether this is over the hill or just not quite there yet and in a dumb phase? Will wait and see for the final two bottles. Solid, I guess. Not yet amazing. — 6 years ago

Bought for a tasting, forgot to do the notes. Cassis, mint, cigar box, olive tapenade, nice acid. Threw some sediment, so needed to decant. Very nice. — 4 months ago

No obvious signs of aging at 18 as its dark purple in the glass. Smooth tannins a medium finish with notes of dark fruits. Bought upon release and “forgotten”. A real gem. — 4 years ago

Nice balance, good berries up front and pepper and a little leather. I felt it could have a little more depth. Ugo liked it more than me. Aged well. Nice treat. — 3 years ago

First time having a Soufflé and no better place than Le Soufflé in Paris. India went with the Henry VI Soufflé which is a cheese Soufflé with a chicken and mushroom sauce. I went with the beef bourguignon.

Deep ruby core with lighter edges and fine sediment. Aged beautifully with some dark plums, damp earthiness and moist tobacco leaves. Balanced with medium tannins (6/10) and medium plus to full bodied. Well integrated with dark berries, tobacco leaves, and solid acidity. Drink till 2024.
