  Decanted for a hour. Nose of leather menthol and smoke; the taste is in line … a well balanced palette. Fruit is in decent shape but not super vibrant and the finish is solid but not exceptional.

  Coravin fun - Bordeaux (My place, Burwood): From Coravin. Damsons, blackcurrant, biscuit a little tobacco leaf/cigar box, mushroom, touch f soy sauce and tapenade, fruit tea; nose is very much open for business. Fleshy, fresh but generous, raw silk burr coats the palate, black hued fruits with tertiary notes lending complexity, long. Lovely.

  Tasted as part of a mini-vertical with the '75, '85, and '95. I found myself slightly disappointed with this wine given its reputation. It is a crowd pleaser for sure, and a bit more modern in style compared to the other wines, which translates to "not my style." Still very primary, velvety smooth, wrapped in a cloak of ripe black fruit and oak. I tried this over three nights hoping to get a glimpse of its future but it still seems rather monolithic and one-dimensional. I'll hold my remaining bottles for another 10+ years.

  Deep magenta with graphite and finish that goes on forever. Could last easily another 20 years

  Ruby / garnet in the glass
  Took 6 hours and 3 nights to open (decanter the first night and put away after 3 hours of no progress). Shocker because last year I don’t recall this being a challenge ( that said I do think our results are more in keeping with other CT results).
  
  Ultimately, we found blackberry, earth, oak and cedar and graphite but we had to dig deep. Very dry. Med+ to high acidity. Long finish.
  
  Still on the journey. Restrained to the point it is locked away. Years from peaking I think.
