May 7, 2017 - No formal note, this is borderline oak bomb to start off with, decant this and swirl like crazy in the glass to bring the vanilla and caramel toastiness down a notch. Once this happens the bordeaux expression is quite good.

December 14, 2014 - A bit young still not as full as I expected considering the initial impression. Very good after it opened up (decanted for a few hours)
