August 25, 2023 - Decanted 1/2 the bottle for 30 minutes. At open this has dark blue and black fruits on the nose. Very primary and tannin still fairly prominent on the palate. With an hour in the decanter it starts to show just a touch of secondaries and the tannin softens just a bit. Good with food but either a longer decant or more time in the cellar for this to really shine but this is a really nice Pauillac. A-
5 hours after open a taste from the recorked other half still shows a bit tight and still finishes with the tannin. 18 hours after open a taste from the recorked other half shows more open and the tannin has softened a bit but still there. I think I would hold a few years or try a 24 hour slow ox.1 person found this helpful 2,853 views
