Friday, September 3, 2021 - Decanted an hour. Needed it. Very classic old school left bank leather armchair vibe. Was hoping for forest floor etc. prefer younger vintages.

Update… ok so I popped 250ml with no O2 into the fridge… 2 days later after v slow ox with the residual o2 absorbed into the wine and … lovely dark and plush. What a turnaround. I’m amazed.

Based on this I’d recommend a 3 hour decant minimum.
