  January 6, 2024 - This is probably just past peak. It's definitely a mature wine at this point. This bottle was recorked by the Château in 2011. No decant. Opened for 4 hours with cork in at 60 degrees. This opens and develops significantly in the glass over a 10 minute period. Initial impression is mature dried fruit and mushroom. But once the air mixes in you get leather, smoked meat and a hint of earth. Lots going on here. It's still alive and well but I would drink now as I can't imagine it getting better and only losing the fruit it still has. Still shows moderate tannins. Medium-full bodied. Ahhh.... The days of 12.5% alcohol. So easy to drink.
