Saturday, January 27, 2024 - First of 12 just out of bond with fillet steak. This is classic cab sav dominant Bordeaux. I agree with the majority of the reviews below. The colour is perfect with no browning at the rim. On first opening there is a noticeable amount of tannin, but following a 2 hour decant (thanks to those who recommended this) the tannins gradually softened revealing more fruit and the wine continued to improve. I may give it longer next time. It’s beautifully smooth with great length and is absolutely in its best drinking window and will last many more years.
