I think this is the first time I've thought 'too much tobacco and leather' in a Bordeaux. I don't know enough about Brett and 'Bordeaux faults' to speculate, but it was less pleasant than the last two. Limited fruit, and the leather/tobacco crossed a line to being a bit unpleasant. Hopefully my remaining nine bottles are more like the last one.
Decanted 1.5 hours.

Even nicer than the last one. Lavender, lots of tobacco, smooth and balanced.
Decanted 1 hour.

Pleasant. A lot of leather and tobacco with only a hint of dark fruit. A bit astringent at the start, but smoothed over the evening.
Decanted 1.5 hours.

Pen Margaux-parfyme. Avslepen eik. Lær, gamle møbler, litt floral. Fortsatt bra frukt, pene tanninner. Et godt kjøp til 500,-.
