...learning experience.... Needs LONG decant/opening. Only after 6 hours double decant from a magnum was it ready (dead as a dodo when cork pulled). At that point it was showing very nice secondary notes. I would really NOT have predicted that when I tasted it as a fruit bomb en primeur. Good example of Haut Medoc, but not behaving like an average 2009 wine.

Pnp, sweet tannic red fruits, not yet ready. After 1 hour, it was settled down and started to blossom. Juicy red fruits, hint of tobacco, medium to full bodied with silky finish. Great qpr and reliable.

Fruit and some spicy and herbal notes, whiff of earthiness. Fresh, mild bitters. OK, not exciting.

1hour decant and drinking very well. Mild fruit in the back seat, cedar, long velvet finish, no brainer with fatty lamb and roasted veggies.

Sweet red and dark fruits intermixed, medium bodied, with a hint of cedar box, expressive now, finish is long.
