  Decanted this wine for two hours. This wine was showing its age via the color upon opening. It did gain some color over the next two hours. It was earthy and had some tobacco notes, but the fruit is turning lite and lean. I’ve had this wine from the beginning so I know it has been centered well. It is on the downward slide. Still, I enjoyed that old St Emilion taste.

  Straight up delicious. This was compelling almost immediately out of the gate. It's darker black fruits and more herbal in style and drinking really well. Continued to open in the glass. Last sip was the best. Always a favorite producer of mine and just a great wine.
