Wow, not expecting much, but this was stunning. No sediment, smooth , lovely bright color, still plenty of fruit. I have one more 2008 bottle, and I’m looking forward to opening it.

Three hour decant, the nose is quite decadent and very much in the classic bordeaux style with a nose and palate of currant, cedar and pencil, with the pencil in particular standing out. The tannins are quite muscular, even after three hours of decant time and another hour or two in the glass, this can spend more time in the cellar or wind its way through a very extended stretch of air, I did not save enough to try the next day.

PnP. Another WOW! bottle. So much going on in here and beautifully structured as well. "Bottlestopper", you have my respect for buying up 14 of these. Very rich and deep, complex and refreshing at the same time. Not much more I can add that hasn't been said in prior reviews. 92+

See notes from previous tasting, still revelant.

Both big nose and body. After two plus hours, really opened up.
