Note: I use the recommended scale, so 85 represents a very good wine.
As suggested by the 90, an excellent bottle. I decanted and it took a bit of time for the bottle to open up (45-60 min), although the aroma that hit my nostrils upon opening suggested something good was in store.
Pretty standard Bordeaux profile -- my fav.

Rauch, Zimt, immer noch sehr gutes Tanin, Cassis, später kommt süße Frucht dazu, der Wein entwickelt ordentlich Volumen und ragt weit in den Gaumen hinein. Hier läuft die Zeit noch lange nicht ab, aber der Wein macht jetzt sehr viel Spaß.

Note: I use a scale on which 85 represents a very good wine.
Initially, a little dry, but after some "air time" and even more so on Day 2, this wine really smoothed out and displayed some of the richness I associate with Margaux.
I have one left, and I will drink it in the near term and decant is a large bottom decanter well in advance.
No need to hold.
