  Decanted for about 1:15 minutes and placed back in the bottle, then consumed at Sancho restaurant in a 2 hours spam. At first the wine was still tight and sort of mute, the body is medium, good legs, with another 30-40 minutes of air in the bottle it reached the highest point of the night, good dark notes, well balance, just still linear for the real potential of the wine.
  
  92+
  
  Drink with 2+ hour decant or HOLD.

  Dark ruby in the glass. Nose shows some alcohol but also lots of cassis and bramble, with a touch of aromatic wood. Medium+ acidity, then cassis, blueberries, cherries, some plums - fruit is very refined, expressive, and precise. Cocoa, some pencil shavings, grippy tannins even after 2 hours decant, and long, lingering, cherry-filled finish.
  This is an intense, young, very enjoyable wine already. Still quite primary, but elements are integrating very well. Decant a couple of hours and you are good to go. Very Margaux in its refined elegance. 94 now, but likely 96+ in 5-6 years.

  Deep ruby in colour, purple, opaque in the center, with very slight bricking on the rim, but overall still very wide and translucent. Decent amount of legs as well.
  
  On the nose, very floral right off the gate. Quite black fruit forward as well with blackberries, cassis, blueberries, slight greenness and herbs, along with wet earth, forest floor, tobacco, mocha, and espresso. Wow, such elegance.
  
  Medium bodied on the palate with earthy and leathery notes upfront, with the fruits lingering around in the mid palate. Leather, black tea, wet earth, forest floor, along with the black fruits and cassis. This is quite structured with powerful and grippy tannins, but the acidity keeps all the elements in check and makes me keep going for more. There is minimal heat despite the somewhat high alcohol. Finish is quite exception with a savoury note towards the end.
  
  This is very delicious and elegant, and is drinking quite nicely despite its young age. Can't wait to revisit this in a few years with a bit more bottle age.

  Seductive, floral nose. Fine and delicate on the palate. Beautifully complex and multilayered. Slight hint of alcohol on the finish, of which the wine has 14.5% vol. The latter prevents a higher rating. 92-

  No sediment. Inky, opaque red with tinges of purple and the barest hint of orange at the rim. Nose moderately open - forest floor, mushroom, anise, mint. Acid and tannin predominate on the palate. Over the next few hours it evolved somewhat starting to evidence the slightest hints of port notes. A solid offering. No rush to drink this up, I'm curious where it will be in a few years.
