Finally trying my first bottle. Initially the typical closed nose plus a streak of acidity and slightly bitter end. After 3 hours of decanting the nose opens up in a reserved way. But the acidity and now smooth tannins are fully integrated into a well balanced wine. Not a wine I serve to my "fruit forward" friends, but for those who appreciate the range of Bordeaux.

Last and best of a case purchased on release and cellared at 55F - blackberry compote and violets - creamy velvety tannins - tartness in ample supply to keep the blackberry circus aloft.

Nice; medium rich; still a little tannic. i doubt it will improve with additional age but it should hold a few more years.
