Very interesting wine. First opened the bottle and tasted wine appeared flat and quite acidic. Poured in decanter and decanted for close to 1:30-2 hours. It started to sing at the end of 2nd hour and oh boy it opened up by 3rd hour with amazing nose of Vosne spices, mocha powder, red fruit and flower notes. Palate is medium bodied, excellent length and good structure with red fruit opening up and balancing acidity, Asian spice and peppery long finish. Had it with duck magret.

Delicious mature Cab! Nose of blueberries, plums compote, figs, anise, sandalwood and spices. Palate is incredible, very suave and polished, with black and blue fruits, sweet tannins, lots of layers of complexity and long finish.

Needs about 1 hr in decanter and then ready to go. Modern styled Bordeaux with bigger legs and dark fruit: blackberries, blueberries, tobacco, coffee, chocolate, and tar on the nose, palate smoothened after decant, similar dark fruit, licorice, tobacco and chocolate on the palate with slightly edgy tannins, however balanced and decadent. Medium slightly bitter finish. Good wine.
