Encore du bois à l'ouverture! Un passage en carafe lui fait du bien. Encore beaucoup de fruits et de matière, leger poivron, structure tannique enrobée. Encore de la vie devant lui. Agréable mais fait plus médoc que St emilion.

Part one:
Very tight wine on opening. Strong notes of berries ending sharply on a dry mouth.
Decanted it for 4-5 hours. It became a lot more open, exhibited acid notes and a lot more fruits (currants, berries) with earthy tones. Did not last long in mouth, finishing in a flat 'dizzle'.
Left half the bottle which we'll enjoy the next day. I'm hopeful it will explode more.
