Decanted for 1 hour. This is a young, fruit forward, plush wine that needs more time in the bottle to take on tertiary maturity. Right now, it tastes like a really good California red blend. If you want it to taste like a Bordeaux, then give it at least 5 more years in the bottle. I was surprised by the amount of oak and vanilla sweetness on the finish.

Needs at least a couple of hours of decanting to open up the wine. Medium-bodied with nice depth. The berry flavors are quite prominent right now.

Tasted over two days, alongside the same vintage Pontet-Canet.
Purity of fruit, backed by expressive representation of place, define this seductive offering. It has softened considerably since release, and although it has retained its extraordinary suavity, it has shed its Burgundian characteristics. Distinctive fruitiness creates a strong impression of modernity. Yet the sense of place, balanced oak treatment, and imperceptible alcohol, mark this as Old School.
Easy drinking now, particularly after decanting for two hours. If the softening continues apace, this might reach full maturity by 2035. This noted, at least equal chances that it will hold through 2045. 95-96.

The nose opened up with several hours in the decanter. Getting some red fruit here, with raspberries, of course dark fruit as well, black currant and blackberry. Floral aromas and the oak while integrated is very expressive. A well balanced palate, medium plus acidity, dark berries, vanilla, medium plus tannins. Already enjoyable, but will certainly gain points with further aging. 93-94
