3 hours decanting. Big, black and very young. I would say do not touch this wine for at least another 5 maybe 10 years. Comments below of any hotness was not found by anyone. I have found his last 3-4 vintages of this wine to be more assisible young, most likely beacuse he has changed his extraction a little bit. Francofile might say they are more balanced now. I would say they are just slightly different.

Taken from own cellar. Decanted an hour. Surprisingly young still. Needs 5-7 years to peak. Telltale milkchocolate and violets and good acidity. Last vintage Helen Turley made and maybe best ever even if I think they are back again since vintage 2005.
