This is becoming one of my favorite producers and this vintage maybe my favorite wine. Opened Friday evening and slow oxed for 24 hours, had half the bottle on Saturday and the second half Sunday. Kept at 55 the entire time but better to drink at 60. The wine is flawless, perfect balance, elegance, and harmony. Everything you expect from a great Bordeaux.
A stellar wine, so much class and finesse. Only just starting to shine but would benefit from more time in the cellar. Decanted for 8 hours and then poured back into bottle before serving.

A beauty drank along a Salvioni 2010 and this was the hands down favorite at the table. Just starting to get that pruney sweetness that comes with bottle age. Perfect time to drink with plenty left in the tank. Decanted in bottle for 8 hours. Seemed to be plenty and very much ready by dinner.
