Decant needed, aerated 1h before dinner. Grilled T-bone.
Dark Brown mid, juniper (not just the berries), balanced fruit and acidity.
Best at 18C, cab glas. I Will drink my case over the next 5y

Dark red, served blind, dark red, guessed Rhone then Bordeaux, 2 hr decant, lovely & elegant for a PB but more like a Lalande, perfect with the steak, will improve with age

Perfect cork. Garnet with a little bricking up around the rim. Nose is classic Bordeaux - pencil, graphite, bell pepper and blackcurrant. Big palate, creamy blackcurrant with super soft fine grained tannins. Very refreshing long, long finish. This is now in a very nice place and benefitted from a 90 minute decant.

Decanted shortly before dinner.
Nice nose offering pleasing complexity. Palate is better than I remember than many previous bottles, with plenty of fruit along with 2008 acidity. Drunk after 2003 Lafite; P preferred this.
Fine wine drinking very well now.

Decanted 1/2 the bottle for 30 minutes. At open this has dark blue and black fruits on the nose. Very primary and tannin still fairly prominent on the palate. With an hour in the decanter it starts to show just a touch of secondaries and the tannin softens just a bit. Good with food but either a longer decant or more time in the cellar for this to really shine but this is a really nice Pauillac. A-
5 hours after open a taste from the recorked other half still shows a bit tight and still finishes with the tannin. 18 hours after open a taste from the recorked other half shows more open and the tannin has softened a bit but still there. I think I would hold a few years or try a 24 hour slow ox.
