Great deal of bottle variation here, the better bottle has a wonderful and exciting nose of sweet candied fruit, flourishes of honey and slightly singed fruit, layered and deep, floral and perfumed; silky and elegant in the mouth, sweet fruit, ripe black cherries and plums, spicy and peppery in the mouth; long finish with wonderful expression. (19/20)

Very sweet nose, perfumed and elegant, aromas of hard candy, refined sugar, certainly smells chapitalized; sweet in the first taste, but then much more citric and lemony, there is a clear sense that this wine is drying out now, and hard to tell if it had a good base in its youth; the presence of added sugar, which I think is unmistakable here, probably is not a good sign about this wine even in its youth. (14/20)

Sweet and ripe nose, layers of rich fruit with a predominance of black plums and black cherries, earthen, hints of smoke, spices, slightly roasted aromas; deep and rich in the mouth with black cherry and plum flavors; an overabundance of tannins, though, robs the wine of its subtlety and pushes the fruit far to the background; the tannins also tend to control the finish, creating a shell around what one can taste to be some sweeter fruit and spices that are there, but harder to find the longer the wine is in the glass. (16.5/20)

Sweet and very aromatic nose, good barnyard scents, overripe fruit, earthy, rich, layered aromas, classic; sweet fruit in the front of the mouth; very much in the Rousseau style with a touch of overstated elements that often appear; very good balance though; good citrus core, red sour cherries; soft tannins, silky and integrated; long finish. (17/20)

Deep and rich nose of black cherries and earth with hints of herbs and smoke mixed in, aromatic and ripe; disappointing in the mouth; after an initial shot of fruit that evokes ripe black cherry compote, the wine turns dry and wooden with grating tannins that leave a harsh, dry texture in the mouth; plenty of citrus fruit but lacks balance and appeal. (14.5/20)

Sweet and intense nose, aromas of roasted coffee abound mixed with ripe black and red cherries, pepper and herbs, soapstone, floral scents that conjure up violets; sweet and rich, quite concentrated and with a spicy, earthen set of flavors set in a rich sweet broth; powerful acidity and tannins add a dry backbone to this wine; lemony and very focused at the finish; needs more time, but what promise. (19/20)
