Clay and juicy cassis. Black olive. Tannins taste like an old varnished bureau. This is the wine that made me love wine again — especially French wine — and motivated me to start systematically tasting and making notes. Then of course my liquor store stopped carrying it. I was delighted to find a bottle while traveling. Still a wonderful value and delicious,though age would improve it. 92 or … 93! — 9 hours ago

Quite a light garnet , terracotta , wide terracotta rim . This shows quite a lot of development , with sweet red focused sous bois , touch of spice , red flowers , earthy notes . On the palate this still has quite good sweetness of ripe red cherry , strawberry notes plus some herbal hints , sweet earthy notes ok length finish . Fills out enough on the palate with fresh acidity and quite suave , rounded tannins . This is just past peak , but has enough fruit still, but I wouldn’t leave it too much longer. Tasted at Hedonism Wines , London . — 5 months ago

Unmistakably old world. All savoury on the nose - truffle, cedar, salami, and spices. Palate is medium bodied but robust. Perfect balance between red/dark fruit, and savoury notes. Quite tannic. Still young! Amazing p/q. — 3 years ago
