Consistent with previous notes .... quite a sleeper, this vintage. Straight out of the bottle, so very young and deep with dark fruits. Needs time to open at this stage, suggest several hours decanter. When it opens up, it lingers very long in mouth and finish. Great.
Does look like a wine built for the ages ... drink now or keep cellared. Here, two bottles left ... not nearly enough, but hey ... other vintages waiting.

A deep and dark wine, almost black at the core. A massive amount of fruit on the nose straight from the bottle. And wow. This wine is huge. Totally fills the mouth. Still very tight but the softness of the merlot does come through. Lovely blackcurrants on both the nose and palatte. Years left.
Drink now (with lots of air time) to 2030+

Pretty closed on the nose with some matured dark fruit. Smooth nicely mellowed dark fruit with resolving tannins. Didn´t really stand out in the bdx 2005 flight.

An interesting wine: it changed a lot in glass after two hours in decanter. Lovely wine once it opens up.

No formal notes, just pure enjoyment.
Personally still a bit too harsh right now.
But starts hitting that sweet spot.
Will be massive shortly !!!
