A orgotten bottle but what a surprise. Upon opening took a sip and the wine was still quite tannic but not dead as I feared. Still a nice brillant deep red color with slight opening on the rim. A nose of dark cherries and some evolution but fresh. After an hour the wine opened and the tannins further flattened and this continued further over time. Although not deep in taste it went strong and paired fantastic with a boar ragout.

Classic Bordeaux style but lighter than I had expected. Colour with evolution, nose a bit closed at the beginning but opened with fade tones of underwood. Still ripe tannins in the taste that does not show much depth. In its drinking window.

Straight from the cellar, the wine needed some time to show its qualities, decanted to open up. Nice structure with still soft tannins present. As a Pauillac lighter than I expected but nicely developping.
