  January 12, 2024 - Bottle bought sixteen years ago and opened ten hours before lunch looking for a slow oxygenation. A long cork in perfect condition. Dull ruby colour with a dark core. Aromas of the Garonne river, with dusty black berries, notes of spices from the wood. Some game and liquorice with coffee. On the palate it is direct with a note of vegetal branch, a velvety texture, still with a decent acidity and permanence. Tamed tannins. Certainly a second wine of a GCC in a good year. That's all.
  
  Botella comprada hace dieciséis años y abierta diez horas antes del almuerzo para una lenta oxigenación. Un largo corcho en perfecta condición. Color rubí apagado con un núcleo oscuro. Aromas deI río Garona, con bayas negras polvorientas, notas de especias procedentes de la madera. Algo de caza y de regaliz con café. Al paladar es directo con una nota de raspón, una textura aterciopelada, todavía con una decente acidez y permanencia. Taninos domados. Sin duda un segundo vino de un GCC en un buen año. Eso es todo.

  December 24, 2023 - Mild with oak presence. Soft but a bit underwhelming.

  November 5, 2023 - Opened the coravined bottle from a few days ago. 2/3 remaining and decanted for five hours. Same notes as before, but the extra few hours of air made a big difference! A 3 point improvement! This was from 1.5L and still had some life left in it. I suspect a normal 750 bottle would not be the same.

  October 31, 2023 - From magnum. Coravinned a third of the bottle and decanted two hours.
  
  To sum it up, a simple and pleasant aged Médoc. Notes of berry, graphite and coffee. A rather short finish and a little thin. I wouldn’t say it is "over the hill" quite yet (although this is from magnum), but it is lacking complexity, depth and is really nothing special.
  
  Next time, I will leave it in the decanter for a few more hours to see if it develops. Not convinced it will though...
