Very good bottle, still feels young but a lot of corners have been polished at this stage. Will get even better over time. Still very happy with this.
Wonderful red and blue fruit nose of med+ intensity, some worn leather and tobacco notes in the background. Feels elegant and lifted by eucalyptus and other herb notes. Palate of med- intensity, high acidity, tannins coming alive after a couple of hours providing great structure. More noticeable charred cedar note on med finish.
Open a couple hours before of consuming now. Should hold for quite a while.

Blackberry, plums, quite fleshy, lightly smoked. Soft on the palate, smooth, tannins nicely integrated and still solid acidity. Average length; the fruit becomes surprisingly powerful with some time in the decanter. Classic style. Not particularly complex or interesting, but delicious and very solid. A food wine I think. Drinks well now, but there is no hurry at all.

17 year old Moulis. Still lot of tannins. Was worth opening it few hours before lunch

At it's peak. From a difficult vintage this is very nice. Well integrated tannins, still some black fruit. Very nice.
