  PnP: Black/Red color, very dense. Very refined and expressive on the nose, charcoal and cherries all over the place. Same on the palate. There's some residual sugar that - for me - is atypical for the vintage. Very dense impression, vertical pressure on the palate. Fine tannins that last to a beautiful long ending...Very positive surprise and extraordinary QPR. Best 1 hour after PnP! 93-94 pts.

  This is mature and at/past peak. Decanted at dinner time and had a very nice glass with dinner. Decent fruit and tannins resolved. Had to run out for 2-3 hours and then returned wine to bottle, corked it and put it in the fridge. Drank 2 nights later and wine wasnstill solid but fruit a bit faded. My take is time to get drinking and keep your decant moderate

  About 1h opened before drinking. 13% Alc., dusty deep red Bdx. color. On the nose open, black fruits, some plum, basil, precious woods, cinnamon with very good depth. Soft mouthfeel, creamy, milk chocolate, good fruit, primarily black- and piedmont cherries, fully mature, very good balance, animating to drink, depth, complexity, good length. A noble drinking experience, 95 Pts.

  Plummy, mature now but no rush, well balanced.
