Balanced & elegant, medium-bodied, 1.5hr decant was not enough. Nice nose. Great with the prime ribeye. Surely this will be benefited from 3yrs+ proper cellaring from now.

Lots of red fruits, bit jammy, tannic(tannins not as resolved as the 1996 407), some sediments. Bold , big nose, it was balanced and drinking beautifully
I enjoyed this, but I preferred the 1996 vintage.

Better than most post-y2k GCC of Bordeaux Rich aromas, balanced, good acidity, many fruit left for a 20yrs wine, nice revolved tannins, structured yet very balanced, Bravo 407!
