'Less exuberant in its aromatics than the 2005, a touch of creme de cassis on the first nose, slightly chalky tannins but as it opens in the glass you dive through to the rich blackberry and cassis fruits.

The chalky tannins worried me at first, but letting it breathe for an hour transforms the whole thing into that deep blackberry and cassis richness. That first nose of crème de cassis is subtle, yet the way it opens in the glass is genuinely rewarding. A worthy bottle for a quiet evening when you wa

Samuel R. ★★★★★

Opened it for a birthday dinner and the nose was tight at first, but give it thirty minutes and that crème de cassis really comes through. Those chalky tannins soften into something elegant, and the blackberry depth lingers long after the glass is empty.
