Yellow colour with a hinge of pink.
Nose is dominated by yellow apples with some brioche, quite rich and open.
On the palate the wine appears very rich, fully mature. but still only secondary aromas. Appears younger than 22 years, but may have developed slower in the magnum format?
All in all, very good and appoacheble now

From magnum, with confit du canard.
Still deep red.
Displays a wonderful cab-nose with cassis and some spice.
Very balanced and long on the palate, classic Pessac from what for me is still an underrated vintage in Bordeaux.
Very pleasing wine at this stage, Great value for money, and a good match for the duck.

2021 Chanin Pinot Noir Zotovich Vineyard

Very light colour, almost transparent.
The nose is dominated by oak and vanilla, some red berries in the background, which struggle to come through the coca cola scent which I find typical for this part of California. Others will call this "strawberry jam",
OK in the mouth, with some length, tasted this over 4 hours without any noticeable improvement in the glass. I do not expect this wine to improve much over age as it is not very concentrated,
Rather disappointing to me...
