August 2, 2015 - This is decent enough. I got the bottle direct from the chateau. Tight, not really ready yet. Maybe in another 5 years. I decanted and followed this over the course of about 6 or 7 hours. Started out with a cedar, currant, mahogany, bloody nose. At 2ish hours, this was at peak expressiveness and complexity before retreating into its shell and showing more of a beef blood, oak profile for the rest of the time. Enough tannin to let this rest; it won't collapse in on itself. It's not that this is only immature; it's not clear that this has the makings of greatness.
