Very similar to my previous bottle, but had more depth. This needs a long decant and still seems young. Extremely tight! Definitely French influenced. If this ever opens up it will be insane.

Quite lovely, but fairly expensive from what I recall. 1.5hr decant and needed it. Awesome Bordeaux-like nose of cedar, cigar box, and cherries. Some might say the wine was tight, but I think it just lacked depth, which was disappointing. Still a great experience and glad I have another bottle. Medium minus finish.

Decanted for 6 hours. Wonderful nose, great fruit and smooth finish. Far from too old. Glad I didn't pop and pour. Impressed
