The last one in my cellar (L.1-03-11), and the best so far, similar to but even better than the previous bottle three years ago. Decanted for 90 minutes before serving. Same notes as then: Lovely aromatics; raspberry, strawberry, cherry, smoke, earth, herbs, minerals, white pepper; medium body; nice acid and tannin structure, with the tannins becoming more prominent with air; long floral and mineral finish; a harmonious, silky food wine. Still time ahead if stored properly, but I doubt it will improve. Very good QPR.

Decanted for one hour before serving. Lovely aromatics; raspberry, strawberry, cherry, smoke, earth, herbs, minerals, white pepper; medium body; nice acid and tannin structure, with the tannins becoming more prominent with air; long floral and mineral finish; at or past its peak, but with 5-7 good years left ahead if stored properly; a harmonious, silky food wine.

Surprisingly youthful with much tannins at the end
But thirsty drinkers did not allow (or need) a decant last nite

Maybe judging it to low because of the other wines we had this evening, to alcoholic in the after taste, but still nice burgundy feel. Again.
