Tuesday, April 17, 2018 - Drunk from magnum (a first mag was corked so this one was opened and decanted about 2 hours before pouring). The wine is very nice, but not quite as impressive as I would have thought. More evolution traces than expected from magnum. It is quite deep and balanced, but lacks a bit of freshness and tension. Medium length, smooth tanins. Overall a delicious wine, but far from what can expect from a 1st growth in a glorious vintage. On this occasion, it was completely overshadowed by the 1989 Angelus (magnum too).
