Needed decanting, and was better after 1+ hr open. Still alot of woody notes. Mellow red/black fruits came out after an hour. Great earth, underbrush with fully integrated tannins and a nice long finish. Not really Grand Cru class, but excellent nonetheless.

Unfortunately this botttled was more than done. All wood and alcohol...very sad. I was able to coax a little bouquet with quick swirl, it didn't make it to the taste buds. Just had this wine a few monts earlier and it was wonderful with truffle, dark fruit and an overall earthyness that made a perfect choice for last nights meal. Alas, it was not to be.

Barnyard, cinnamon, soft spice. Fully mature, but could still go until 2017. Nice, but nothing earth shattering,

Somewhat forward acidity and a bit light on the palette for a GC, but made up for it with layers of subtle spice on the finish. Very nice.
