April 21, 2019 - Decanted 4 hrs, definitely got fuller in texture with the air. Red currant, smoke, violets with great structure, but a bit simple. With it's elegance and acidity I'm confident it will last a long time, and the complexity will come with age. A good, typical Haut-Medoc style, thought at the current price I thought a bit steep.
