👁 Clear, russet red, indicating age.
👃 Hints of dark fruits, licorice, leather. Fragrance is very much withheld.
👅 Hints of black fruits, stewed prune, earth, tobacco, tar. Spicy and bitter on the back palate and such a brief finish that it left me wondering if I swallowed before I tasted.
✍️️ It takes a professional to fully appreciate the wisdom and worldliness of this older vintage. I'm not quite there yet.

2007 vintage. Vieilles Vignes. Medium brick garnet hue. Herbal, white flower, white pepper, earthy and forest floor. Very attractive nose. On the palate, great balance of fruit and tannins - tight grain. Herbal character to the fore, black currant and slight mint. Good length. Ready to drink now as I think the fruit is starting to dry out.
