Lots of orange and bricking, black fruits still present lots of savory notes. This one’s in a really good place. I know it’s of hoisin, balsamic gravelly minerality tenants present, but it definitely smoothed out..

By the glass at the BA Lounge, LHR. Freshly opened We try this every two years or so and seems to be improving all along ( Last was 90 in 2019) and on this occasion was rally pretty, soft smoky edge, dark fruited, plums, soft spice. A decent amount of oak lingers for the age but in no way oaky per se in a new world way. Good wine and perfect now . 91

It is getting better with some terrior and dark fruits. I am going to wait on the last bottle to see if the tannins soften any more. Definitely a food wine.

Very good Bordeaux that needed some air to open up. I think with a decant for an hour it drinks great but I don’t think that more age will help this.
