This is drinking very well right now. Elegant, with precision. Perfumed bouquet of dried flowers, violet, cassis, rose petal, with some gamey characters developing. Tannin is well integrated, with medium plus acidity. Black fruits, forest floor, soil tone, gravel. No excess weight or fat. Oak completely dissolved. This is to me screaming d'Issan. Margaux purists would enjoy this tremendously. No reason to wait.

May 7th, 2017Medium bodied. Soft and smooth, not much tannin at this age. Subtle fruit and earth along with eucalyptus that lingers. I found the musk is a bit too strong for this wine.
