Opened and decanted via an aerator. Given 30 mins in the decanter before pouring. Very Bdx on the nose, with cassis, hint of dark plums, overlay of oak and a lick of new leather. Palate is smooth and round on the front palate, dark fruits that become sour on the finish (almost too much so), falling away with a tinny edge. That finish is disappointing.

Nez sur les épices, le bois, l'eucalyptus. Le fruit est présent, mais plus en retrait qu'un Bordeaux typique. En bouche, les tanins sont amples et bien tissés, l'alcool assez présent, quoique pas trop exagérément, la finale est sur les tanins et l'alcool. Bien, mais m'a semblé manquer un peu de fruit.
