4 hours bottle breathing, opened at 4pm, served at 8.15pm • Nose was tight but opened up to its aroma at 8.15pm. It was ripe berries, dark chocolate, black truffle with a hint of menthol. . On the palate, similar to the nose kneaded with firm and yet silky tannins. . The wine keeps evolving over the hours, and it reminds me of Latour 2011, which has you by surprise all the time.

::Nose:: Lavender, cedar, flower bouquet, spices, pines, elegant and integrated
::Palate:: Needed 3.5 hrs of decanting for the wine to really open up. Very good already but better to wait 5 more years before opening the next bottle. See you in 2028 :)
It's 92-93 now but will definitely gets into the 94-96 range as it continues to develop.

Typical St Emilion nose. Finish not as long as other St Emilion.
