  Decanted for 1.5 hours. Aromas of currant, plum, and iron. Nose closed done. Flavors of plum, cherry, iron, earth. Ends with a 20+ second finish with mesquite and iron notes. Think this needs more time. Will revisit.
  
  Update: after another 30-40 minutes this really came around. Upgrading the score.

  Leather blackberry, balanced with supple fruit and smooth tannin. Elegant smooth finish.

  Drank at 67
  Fully mature but lovely. A lot of people at the table felt it had more left bank qualities than Pomerol

  Reading some of the reviews I was almost led to believe that this wine was past its best. I decanted for half an hour or so before serving. It definitely needs more and with this opens up so much more. Slightly on the sweet side for me and possibly lacks a little acid. Too fruity? Would drink well for 5 years or so would be my bet
