Decanted 10min. (too short - plan ahead next time!) This wine needs time despite being already very nice. Lots of potential. Layers of fruit, hints of flowers, touch of tobacco. Very fine tannins, good texture. Very long. Need to calm down and drink the remaining 8 bottles over 12 years. This will be challenging !

Erst im kleinen Glas wie zugesperrt, brutal Tanin, rote Säure, ab ins ganz große Bordeaux Glas, macht der nach 30 Minuten richtig auf.

Decanted 2 hours, wine still very young. Wait at least 10 more years.

Tasted this at the Chateau Lagrange Wine Dinner with Mattieu Borders at Famous Treasure hosted by Infinite Supply.
A full nose, packed with dark red fruits, black coffee and tobacco.
A voloptous wine.

A touch oaky at this stage. Darker, brooding and lacking a touch of complexity.
