23.12.2023 - impromptu session at David’s place with L & A. My bottle brought specially for D. Was a little worried as the ‘07 was not an exceptional year. It was a wet & tricky season according to Wine-Searcher. Popped on the spot and was pleasantly surprised. Ready to drink from the start & kept evolving till we finished it. Dried fruit, tobacco, graphite, dark spices & delicious forest floor. Tannins are well polished with refined mouthfeel. Velvety on the entry with persistent minerality driven finish.

Light garnet tea in color, with tobacco leaf, spice, and red fruits, the wine is medium-bodied, and soft, with strawberry currants in the nose and on the palate, finishing with light, red fruits, spearmint, and drying spicy red berries in the finish. The wine blends 90% Cabernet Sauvignon with 10% Merlot. Drink from 2023-2027.

Decanted in the bottle for around 2 hours. Medium+ nose intensity with notes of black fruits, cassis, toast, black cherry, coffee. Medium+ acidity and medium+ tannin. Tannin is rounded and fine.

Delicate. Some black currant, plum and floral notes. Hint of white pepper. Aristocratic and elegant. Rewarding. Drink now or in the next few years.

This was good but not great. Expected a little more.
