Time helps, better than previous 2 bottles but not great, some alcohol taste remains, slight bouquet, wine has smoothed out and is more balanced just not up to the "Louise" pedigree, ok fruit, smooth tannins and decent acid, not much complexity, drank with roast chicken with basmati rice stuffing, last bottle.

First time tasting the Louise cuvee; shared by a friend; this was excellent and still quite young; the nose is explosive with ripe red fruits and floral notes followed by baking spices and just a hint of damp earth; very primary, but lovely. The palate is rich and full of super ripe fruit, but maintains a lovely elegance and balance. The finish lingers for a minute. Delicious now, but will definitely improve with more cellar time.

This wine is at its zenith now. Doesn't need much air to open up. Outstanding!
