3 hour decant
Bright dark blue and black fruit, kirsch and other brilliant fruits; penetrating aromas. great balance with strong character and depth. Acidity is intoxicating. Keeps getting better with time. Great mouth feel; deep and textured, many dimensions, long finish. Cab Franc adds a lot here. Drinking nice but no rush. Upside even from here.
Strikes a proper balance between a saint julien top wine and classic California Cabernet

Très différent que le dernier bu en novembre. Le nez de celui ci est décevant (très végétal). En bouche, le vin était timide, sur le fruit. Quand même bien fait

Fantastic bouquet of ripe blackberries, blueberries, grilled peppers, spices, undergrowth. Incredibly silky palate, elegant, ripe, berries, tiny bit of milk chocolate, some freshness, leading to a long finish. So easy to drink, but still complex, very balanced, light yet with depth.

Wow, beautiful bottle. Still feels young and quite a floral and fruity nose.
