  Dark crimson color. Decanted and then drank over 2 hours. It took an hour for the nose to open up to cassis, dark currants, pencil lead and rock. On the palate very linear and even salty in the outset but the wine gained volume and intensity with time to reflect cassis, pencil lead, leather and black currants. Very mineral and precise, decent body and finish with tannins present but soft. Lovely for the price point.

  Drank it on the special day for him. A lovely violet color, fruity note and silky tannin.

  Much better than the 2007. It’s just a beautiful wine. When you smell it you just think “ah wonderful”. Still a solid 93, needs something more to be rated higher. But was perfect with the American T bone steak. Great bottle to drink with great friends!

  Slow bt breath for 2 hrs, the wine is deep red, nose has fresh red fruits and hint of cocoa aroma. On palate, acidity is more pronounced but balanced with tannin that has evolved and softened. Definitely has first growth structure and extract, finish is long too.
