  Quite red scented fruit, juicy and vibrant, slightly glossy, good acidity, long red finish, quite complex - overall quite light and elegant, depth without power. Feels like a thin bottle compared to previous. After a couple of hours it’s more open and obvious, maybe less thin; very pretty red fruit. Probably at its peak (given 2h to breathe) - mix of primary and secondary fruit.

  Closed, tight black fruit with good depth, glossy texture, sweet finish. Very nice. No hurry, should last a long time

  2 hour decant and this still hasn’t fully opened up but it is certainly accessible and enjoyable. Zero bright fruit with more heavy dark fruit on the palate. Average balance with a long life ahead.

  4 hour decant- certainly in prime and very pleasant and enjoyable before dinner. This should be drank without food. Nice balance and light on its feet. Should be consumed within next 5 years.

  7/18/2020 - ProperClaret Does not like this wine:

  Incredibly stemmy...moreso than perhaps any other Burg I’ve ever had. Three hours of air wouldn’t bring it around.
