Took a couple hours to open and was still drinking nicely the day after.
Elegant, medium full bodied with tannins still a little drying. Some secondary notes starting to develop. Good brambly fruit with a little acidity. Very enjoyable but may improve still.

We had a bottle over dinner last night at Mr K's home 4th of July celebration, upon opening didn't show much,so I suggested decanting for one hour,the wine never opened, medium body,not much fruit and moderate structure, a definitely minus for this prestigious estate, and on a very pricey bottling. Very disappointing

Had a few days ago. Not quite as nice as I remember. Lovely nose, but the palate didn't quite mtach it. Still very nice, with nice elegance and complexity (B+/A-).

Still a very good bottle, but the overall wine is declining. To drink ASAP.

Needs to be opened an hour before. I suggest this wine should be drunk. May be past peak.
