Tuesday, January 3, 2023 - This has improved since my last tasting. Decanted 2.5 hours, and it helped round out the wine. Still, it seems like this is in a dumb phase, holding back on the boquet and palate. The cocoa that I sometimes get from this Chateau was also missing, hence my hunch that this needs more time. On the plus side, this showed the sort of finesse of tannins that I love about good StJ. Definitely approachable now, but I think the best is yet to come.
