Deep purple color big bodied 14.5% with well integrated tastes of plumb, leather, menthol and chocolate. Long finish and could proactively age for another 10 years.

Decanted 2 hours. Drank with barbecued tenderloin, grilled potatoes, and grilled corn with essence of basil. This wine smelled wonderful the moment I decanted it. The aroma lacked that yeasty note I love in Bordeaux but had lovely fruit, slightly muted compared to California cabernets. This was a classic style. I tasted dark cherries and black cassis.

My contribution tonight & wine no.2 TB. Prominent nuances of black fruits initially but eventually replaced with elongated nose of roasted bell peppers. Lots of red fruit, some licorice, aged leather & well integrated oak. Palate - medium body & acidity with resolved tannins. Gained density for the first 30mins but started to decline after that. Initial fruit & structure were enjoyable but after 1hr, the finish came up rather short. Most guessed as LB St Julien.Best to drink up now. 270423 din at Honest Butcher

This has years left, but is delicious now. It only started really opening after two hours of air, so no rush.

solid Bordeaux. Good fruit, integrated tannin. Delicious! Drink or hold.
