Muted, too clumsy to drink after opening. But 24 hours later it showed surprisingly well with plenty of plum and black cherry fruit as well as the typical Paulliac graphite and cigar box. It's maturing well, in fact especially well for a 2nd.

Lightly scented nose of black currants, creme de cassis and new oak. Supple texture, this glides across the palate. Elegantly textured, this is delicious and doesn't show signs of excessive age. That said, it is a little muted. Drink now-2025 90

Needed an hour decant. Classic Paulliac with tons of cigar box and graphite, full-bodied, very dry and savory, needs prime rib.
