  Give it 1-2 hours of air. The wine starts a little bit shy at opening but developes nice cassis-aromas with air. There is some red pepper on the nose too. The palate is very fresh, beautiful silky tannins, vertical pressure, good sweetness in the background. Red pepper, some tobacco and cassis. Very nice wine that will be great in the future and is very drinkable now (with air!). The only thing: don't let it get too warm. Near room temperature some bitterness comes around (due to the hot vintage?) 93++ pts.

  Decanted. Still new oak on the nose. Once past that distraction, quite perfumed. Fruit still vigorous. Not much tertiary development but if you like them fresh, this is a nice place, as tannins are fairly well subsumed. Nice lift on this and pleasant drinking.

  First of a case. Another great buy with clear a sensation of Bordeaux in the glass. Throws whiffs of violets and coffee, with tinges of oak. Really hefty and masculine, while being pretty. This wine should satisfy all wine drinker, new world and old. Drink or Hold

  Oodles of creme de cassis, lead pencil and graphite. Puts one in the mind of Paulliac. Silky. Fine. In a good place. Drink or hold. 93

  Drinks perfectly if one wants to have some primary fruit left. Not the most complex but very classy and classic.
