From a DMG. Not decanted. Took a while to open up but eased very well. Some discussion around a slight cork. The cork itself was a tad soft. We drunk the bottle with gusto. Elegant and rather smooth but found it on the austere side but maybe typical. Black berries and some earthy tones. Expected more from this chateau and this year.
