at Monarch in Dallas. Decant. My first encounter with this producer. I think its a very good, not great classed Pauillac. a tad heavy on the barrel treatment, but good persistent fruit with a medium-full bodied palate. extra points for good balance and judicious extraction. 89-91

golden high tension out of the gate, lemon, quince, zippy acidity and puckering. This wine needs an hour+ decant for it to round out and settle down. Tartness and acidity mellow out considerably.. petrol and hazelnut and jasmine with mouthwatering crisp green apple and super long finish. Textbook. excellent. 94-95

1 hour decant. rich and ripe, full palate but a bit foursquare. No secondary characteristics. lacks personality and typicity. Long uninteresting finish. 88-90
