Sunday, July 9, 2023 - Needs a minimum of 2 hours in the decanter and preferably 12-24. Don't even think about ordering this at a restaurant. Drinking absolutely perfect right now (with airtime). Classic bordeaux slightly on the austere side of the spectrum - tart plum and raspberry fruit. Cassis, tobacco, touch of wood on the nose. Lots of minerality and fine dusty tannins providing a backbone to the structure. Long finish.
Quite different than the 2012 Clos du Marquis tasted a few weeks ago and much more enjoyable at this stage.
