Medium ruby, bright, nice tears. Slight barnyard with some vegetables, lots of sweet rotting red and dark berries. Medium body, well balanced, bit spiky but nice red fruit, fine acidity, fine tannins. Finish with long persistent tannins and some fruity acidity. Fine with fat dried dates, not so good with Spaghetti Gorgonzola.
Score: 50 + 3 for optic + 14 for bouquet + 17 for taste + 7 for overall = total score of 91.
Not blind. Decanted shortly before drinking. Small ISO standard tasting glass.

Very light ruby, nice tears, floating sediment. Very CdP typical nose, slight barnyard with some rotting vegetables, lots of sweet red and dark berries. Medium body, well balanced, nice red fruit, fine acidity, slightly bitter, tannins may be a bit dry - echo of sweet sour fruit drops. Finish long, persistent tannins. As stated before: Nice wine
from a not so great vintage. Score: 50 + 3 for otpic + 14 for bouquet + 17 for taste + 7 for overall = total score of 91.
Not blind. Dubious "household" wine glasses. Nice to drink even without food.

(not blind): Could not resist to open another bottle of this nice wine without edges. Light ruby, clear, some sediment, good tears. Fine CdP nose, some secondary fruit. Plump body, fine secondary red fruit, silky acidity and soft tannins. Aftertaste not very long but soft and enjoyable, hint of Burgundy and good match with food. Score: 50 + 3 for optic + 13 for bouquet + 17 for taste + 8 for overall = total score of 91.

Nice wine from a not so great vintage.
