served 1 hour after decanting. First whiff was very fruit forward with exotic vanilla, but closed down 30 minutes later, and opened up again after 2 hours in decanter, with more smoke.

Seamless polished style with high quality oak and deep mix of red and blue fruits. Fine cashmir tannins. Accessible now—but doesn’t have the complexity of an aged bdx. But I think this will age well given the excellent balance.

First bottle of a case, about 2 hours in a karaf. The first thing that strikes you about this wine is purity, sensuality and coolness in the nose, very fragrant. In the mouth there's an explosion licorice, dark berries, pencil shavings, truffle and soft mouthwatering tannins. There is an elegance which pleases me enourmously. Nothing out of balance and perfect tension, a crowdpleaser. A shame I did not buy more, in the same league as vieux chateau certan 2014 just a different appelation. 94+pts
