I am a fan of Les Suchots, but this particular bottle was quite odd experience. Meaty and dark, very fruit-forward and even smoky (although I suspect the bottle was quite reduced). It's definitely way too young, with very green tannins that overpower everything else. I wish it was decanted for the tasting since that tannic grip made me not finish a glass of it.
