Monday, January 30, 2023 - 4th bottle from a half case. Gentle oaky nose, later blackcurrant and coffee with some anise on the finish. Huge and lovely penetrating length which is still dry on the finish. I'll wait yet another 2 years at least before trying again because the 2005s are wines for the long haul and developing at a snail's pace. This could improve a lot. Be patient. Drinking well for those who like tannic claret. P.s. day 3 using Coravin the wine has opened up more and improved. Normally double decanting back into the bottle is enough but this needs to breathe.
