Part of a Chris Carpenter online tasting. I am a fan of right bank bordeaux and so was excited to see Chris start making something in that vein. Opened and decanted for about 6 hours before we poured for the first time and even with that this is intense (to be fair, we'd done a Burgundy Zoom a few hours before). So some time to readjust to the new world style. This is a heavier style of wine. I appreciated that it wasn't all fruit dominant. Would have liked to see a bit more acidity, but I did appreciate the way it softened over time (drank over the course of probably 6 hours). There's a certain velvety style which is nice.
