P'oxed? It was very advanced, full-bodied and rich, acidity on the low side and oak almost fully integrated. Very dissimilar to a couple of regular sized bottles consumed during the year. The 75 cl bottles displayed stunning notes of flint and gunpowder and higher, crisper acidity - not the fleshy wine, that this magnum was. I enjoyed it a lot less. Bottle variation or on its way to POX?

Blazing with all the good stuff upon opening (rated 93) and then I over-decanted it unfortunately. But upon opening it had a pronounced nose of flint, gunpowder, vague early hints of roastd nuts and butter, fresh lemon/lime and some tropical fruits. Beautiful wine!! A bit in the style of Comte Lafon!
