My last bottle. It got a sound decanting. the cork was sound and there was a fair amount of sediment in the bottle. The wine smelled, looked, and tasted good immediately upon opening. it benefitted significantly from decanting. It had a great taste of mature, but rich fruit, and modest oak. A very nice, mature Bordeaux. Wish i had more.

Agree with others that this is likely still in transition, and that it is currently more impressive than delicious. More backbone and class than the 2009. Great balance, it’s all there in the right percentages. And a long finish. If you can, wait for another 3-5 years with this one (maybe more). You’ll be proud of yourself if you do.

V. good. Basically popped and poured. I'll pay more attention on the next bottle.
