It took about 2-hours of air to really show its stuff, but what a treat. Good acidity, resolved tannins, forest floor, mushroom, dusty rock, and hints of cherry and blackberries.

Complex bouquet of ripe cherries and plums, old leather, graphite, thyme, lightly toasted cumin and oak. Lots of stone fruits and earthy notes on the palate. Nice balance between fruit, acidity and tannins which are still evident towards the back of the dry finish. Would expect the finish to be deeper and longer.

Great Bordeaux profile full of funk and pomerol goodness in a medium body. At peak, and nothing left to shed, has well integrated age along with freshness. Lacks depth to make it a great wine, but has the tannins to make it expressive and interesting. DRINK

Still holding up well. This was PnP and was drinking great right from the start.
