December 31, 2021 - 10th of 12, decanted 80 minutes, level into neck, travelled cork, a wow bottle and probably a point, fine creamy fruit, full arsenal of tertiary flavours, very persistent with fine lift, little upside now but good for 10+ years. VFI (19.5).

December 11, 2021 - From a nice looking bottle with a VHS fill, this wine had a deep red/purple center with orange rims. The medium+ intensity nose generated blackberry, plum, mocha, brown spice, and mineral notes.
In the mouth, this wine was very round and attractive at first. After about 3 hours, it developed the missing dimension of power. This was in the form of attractively rounded tannin and fine grained acidity that gave it a great mouthfeel.
While tasting great now, this will easily last for a decade. I suggest at least a 3 hour pre-tasting decant. Enjoy! -

9/28/2004 (link)(Pichon Lalande) A completely tertiary nose of grilled nuts and lots of truffles (white and black). Just crazy. There were also earth and mineral but those truffles were amazing. Great wine.
