  February 14, 2009 - This wine REALLY improved after being decanted for two hours. Dark ruby/purple color with scents of espresso, clove, raspberry and cassis. The bouquet just soared from the glass. Very nice. This also had a great mouthfeel. The initial attack on the palate was amazingly sweet, then folded into a velvety midpalate with layers of red and dark fruits. Finish was moderately long, with some refined tannins. I loved the way the wine improved with each sip. The way this wine opened up suggest this wine will easily continue to develop for several years. I wouldn't be afraid to drink one now with decanting but also look forward to having this wine in another several years. Great fruit, excellent Pauillac for a great price.
