Paired w/ Duck confit @ Tiny Lou's in ATL. Gave it about an hour of air to start. Opened up nicely at around the 2 hour mark but still a good amount of tannin. 91 now; probably 92/93 in a few years?

Label notes that the wine is 90% Merlot, 10% Cab. The rich nose is of sweet red fruit and stone fruit, cassis, tobacco, iron and some earth notes. In the mouth there is elegance. Soft and round. Dark berries, chocolate, spices and licorice. Still has some lovely texture with integrated. Long persistency as it dissipates slowly. For a 4th growth...fantastic.

Licorice, spice, earth, plum, black cherry and stone notes are made more interesting by the soft, sexy, plush textures, polished tannins and the long, spicy, silky finish. 92-94 Pts

Silky smooth, berries, little tobacco, lush long finish. Decanted 1 hr, but delicious right out of the bottle.
