Wine is entering a nice place. Bought on release and cellared. Took it to a new french place here in HK and the sommelier sneered at it to a certain extent but at the price point I think it would be hard to beat.
It as initially subdued on the nose but I didn't open it prior having forgotten. After 45 minutes it was perfect. Not heavy at all and the fruit and tannins balanced.

4th bottle out of a case, always fruity and fine from the get go.
No need to decant, but changes in the glass over time.

Drank during HB vertical - nearly perfect wine and one of the best 85 Bordeaux I've had.
