Decanted. After two hours really opened up into an intense, excellent wine. Beautiful nose of red fruit, cinnamon, roses, combined with a perfectly balanced palate of cherry and raspberry. Long long tart cherry finish. Gorgeous bottle, much better than the last one.

Initially beautiful, fine wine with red fruit aromas and silky tannins. With time, though, evolved into a strange wine, smelling of sweet caramel, not great at that point.

At Jade Palace over a blinded Gevrey vs MSD Grand Cru theme. Colour was a beautiful ruby red, looking very vibrant and pure. Nose was very minerally, with a sweet perfume. Pure and elegant. Palate was fresh, clean, with wild strawberries, rose petals and violets. (Where is the MSD profile?) Make no mistake, this is an elegant wine, with lovely finesse and purity, but for all the fuss from the rest of the group, I struggled to find a more structured, meaty and dense wine and the complexity seemed to be absent as well. Nonetheless, an enjoyable bottle.
