95 Points

Saturday, May 6, 2017 - 2nd of 12, decanted an hour, perfect cork and level, not quite up to previous notes (last 9/13), now in awkward adolescence, still some purple on rim, fine cassis/black plum fruit wrapped round iron core, secondaries evident, but iron dominates, fine grain tannin obtrudes and the fruit lacks the usual nuance, aristocratic, long and concentrated though, will recover poise with time and merit much higher score than current VF (18.5), Margaux, HB and Mission surer bet for current drinking.
