  Decanted, which helped. Small amount of reduction prior to decanting. Pencil lead, graphite, old leather. Medium bodied, nice dark fruit and firm but well integrated tannins. I don’t have another bottle but this has lots of life left and I’d wait another 5 years if I did. Crazy good value.

  Still very young, significantly better on day 2. Classical Margaux with excellent potential, 92++.

  This is showing out. Fully integrated, light tannins, leathery front end, lingering tobacco. #SweetSpot

  Moderate leathery nose. Lovely wine, chalky and jammy, well balanced with big tannins.

  Popped and poured. This is excellent. For the money, it's incredible. Pretty, brilliant ruby-purple certainly looks the part. Red legs are just a tad thin. But the nose. Oh, the nose! On second pour into the glass, this has released the most marvelous perfume of violets, cassis and red fruit. The mouth has come alive as well, and really delivers the goods. This wine has it all: Fruit, balance, richness, charm, beauty. One of the best '16s I have had to this point, given its current showing. 4-14-17-9: 94/100.
