Still showing a lot of tannic and acidic structure, but enough fruit to keep it in check once it had a few hours of air, youthful still, and brawny. — 7 months ago

Bright tawny color, translucent. Exotic nose with notes of cherry, rhubarb, Asian spice, earth and raspberry. Amazing perfume. In the mouth this shows the 96 vintage battle of fruit vs acidity. Still lots of acidity and structure right now, but the fruit is running second place. Good showing overall tonight. What will this be in 5 years I'm wondering. — 7 years ago

1996 vintage. At Ryozanpaku in Kyoto, Japan. Medium garnet - slight bricking around the edge. Medium intensity of aromas, manure, earth, blackberry, violet creams and savoury spices. Fairly complex if slightly mature. On the palate, good fresh acidity, medium body and noticeable rounded tannins. The mid palate is flavoursome and impressive. The finish is slightly short. Probably won't benefit from further ageing. However, I suggest giving the wine 30 minutes of air before serving. — 8 years ago

Medium bodied. Ever present oak and wood on the palate that's touched up by dark, leafy greens and bramble. Soft in the mouth.
Some air unlocks some of the hidden tannins and some more fruit comes through. — 8 years ago

Similar to the clos Marion from this producer. Along with some definite perfumed notes. Really really pretty, yet still quite young. — 8 years ago
