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. — 8 years ago

Pipeau is an early foray into 2005 for me. Not a bad place to start. Very round structure. Full fruit with stewed plum, black cherry, slate, hint of mint. A little dry on the finish. Will mellow in the next few years. — 9 years ago
