Super dark ruby red. A bit of complexity on the nose with cinnamon, cedar, earth, herbs, a bit toasty and touch of red berries. Rounded and medium tannins (6/10). Medium bodied with notes of spices, dust, strawberries and cherries. Medium plus finish and well balanced. Drink till 2023.

While it is not a reserve build, this still sees plenty of oak...malo is avoided here. I like its fresh Chard fruit vibe and viability...acid is key here — 6 years ago

Excelente IPA, suave. — 8 years ago
Very intense. Powerful gunpowder, flint, lime. A dazzling and broad midpalate. Really juicy and focused with none of the over-ripeness you sometimes see in 05. Killer. No signs of premox and will probably kick ass in 20 years on this showing. — 8 years ago
Light yellow straw color, youthful. Razor sharp nose with lemon, pit fruit and river stone notes. Great balance of fruit and acidity in the mouth. Got better with 5 hrs of air. Long finish. No signs of premox, a great showing. — 9 years ago
Very Jammy nose. Quite deep in color and flavorful. Like it a lot. Good buy! — 9 years ago

Like always a true gentleman, somewhat lean but very sophisticated. Silky wine with fruit preserved. Very little signs of evolution. Very aristocratic but lacks some flesh. Still very enjoyable. — 6 years ago
Let it breathe for 15-30 min and it tastes wonderful! — 8 years ago
Big fruit, very mild, easy follow — 8 years ago
We let this breathe for 3 hrs, and got this just right!
Nose is rather restrained, but offers up barrel toast, black cherries and a touch of tobacco. The palette is spellbinding. It has a rich, lithe mouthfeel. No signs of age. Rich dark fruits and cassis are joined by spice box. Perfectly balanced and weighted. Finishes ethereal. There are no cracks in its armor. — 8 years ago
