Excellent but still young and will benefit from some more time in the cellar. decanted for an hour and the nose really opened up. Plenty of tobacco, leather and dark fruits. Lighter on its feet than many Poyferre but still has the classic St. Julien fine tannins. A bit crunchy at first but got getter as it opened to show plenty of grace and balance. More fruit forward then I would have expected for this bottle age.

Leuchtendes, dichtes Rubin. Laktisches und komplexes Bouquet nach dunklen Beeren, Brombeeren, Cassis, dazu heller Tabak und etwas Schokolade. Ungemein dicht und sehr gut strukturiert am Gaumen, hat viel Power und zeigt markantes, aber sehr hochwertiges Holz, alles passt hier gut zusammen. Top-Qualität und grosses Potential!

After PnP. Dark red and almost opaque. Nose is somewhat restrained. What is there are secondary notes, damp forest, dried herbs and wild mushrooms. Earthiness comes out on tasting. Tannins have mellowed nicely and but still give some grip to the wine. This still tastes a little young to me, and almost a little sweet.
After 3 hours in decanter in cellar - the aromas are warming up nicely, and are fresher, with coffee and chocolate. The tannins have realized more fully and the wine has become much more expressive and edgy all at the same time. Lots of vectors of sensations, and each one lasting beautifully. A joy. I feel that this 15 year old wine is going to improve/stay the course for decades.
Wait until 2026 at least before opening the next one.

After an hour or so decant this was absolutely singing. Plush, juicy, almost oily. Prior to decant it was classic, needed the time to blow off the old school notes and reveal plush perfection. Just entering a very nice window. No rush.
