PnP'd one bottle (magnum) and it felt thin for the first hour. Decanted a different bottle the following day for a few hours and it showed fuller. So I do suggest a decant at this point.
Tannins are fully resolved. Classic but slightly muted Cantemerle flavors and aromas of blackberry, leather, a touch of cedar and the like.
Not a particularly great vintage for Cantemerle due to lacking a bit of acidity/back bone but still a pleasant wine to drink now.

This was lovely. Not sure it warranted current prices but had I bought it for $100 or less, then yes. Still a great wine. Not sure there's much upside here, so drink up.

Showing beautifully. Probably within its ideal drinking window. These Chevillons take awhile to come together but when they do…a really harmonious wine appears in the glass. Drink.
