HWS Bordeaux 2009 vs 2010 (By me): Beautiful and luxurious, complex bouquet with dark berries and violets. On the palate delicious juice with beautiful acidity and tannin with still a good bite and a great length. Very tempting wine already but with a few more years of cellaring it will show even more finesse.

Opened and poured out a glass and let the bottle site for a few hours. Ready for drinking. I don’t have tremendous experience with aged Bordeaux, but I don’t think this would benefit from further cellaring. Ripe raspberries and eucalyptus flavors. Delicious!

Decanted 2 hours and drank over another hour. Not Wowed at all. Pretty one dimensional really. Tannins are soft. More cellaring isn’t going to improve it. Smooth drinking but really average. Why I’m inclined not to spend a lot for these Modern Bordeaux’s. It’s good but not great.
Dekantert lenge. Vanskelig å holde fingrene unna denne tilnærma perfekte pessacen. I perfekt balanse, mørk, herrevin, sikkert perfekt til mat, men jeg tar den bar. Minst like god dag 2. Dette er bare herlig.

Nice wine if outshone by some other heavy hitters that evening. Light strawberry nose and palate. Earthy finish.
