Opened and decanted for sediment. Absolutely gorgeous small taste. Back in the bottle and slow ox for a few hours before bringing to dinner. So excited to pair it with Wagyu tartare. Poured at the restaurant and badly corked. I guess I missed on opening and the TCA “bloomed” with the exposure to air? This was from a friend’s cellar who purchased on release. Bummer! Hoping for a better outcome next time.

Even in a split, this continues to be symphonic! PnP and singing immediately. Last of the splits, now on to the magnums, but not for at least another five years.

Meh. No reason to hold, as only going down from here.
