Smelly or corky. Waited for 2 hours before the smell dissipates, but then not much was left. 20181111 I have opened this wine once every year for 4 years; disappointed every time for different reasons. Finally, everything comes together in this bottle today. The unbelievable elegance of its floral fragrance is definitely Grand cru quality. 10 years cellar time is no kidding necessary for this wine. 93 20210410 A bit in the late window of its peak. Floral, elegant, and earthy. Great! 93 20220203 Similar to previous note. It does not last long. 93

Red fruit, some heat and acidity, especially initially. Pleasant bouquet. Mellowed over the course of 2 hours. Could use a few more years of cellaring.
