From Friday night steak and claret with Cinnamon and Julia from Champagne Cazanove. I was to overwhelmed by the charm of my dining companions to remember to take a picture. I bought this now 13 year old pre-arrival, and although aromatically generous, this wine is still far to young for its outstanding potential. The high class cassis perfume was followed by an overly taught feel in the mouth. It still cut refreshed after each bite of prime top sirloin!

2004: quite deep showing quite a bit of extraction. Deep ruby with a garnet hue. Blackcurrant and berry, dark spices, smoke, tobacco and graphite. Good depth. Verging on dried fruit. Very full, but very soft, with softened tannin AND acidity. Black fruited, lightly green, plump and soft. Not going to last long. Drink up.
