Saturday, January 7, 2023 - Opened and let breathe in the bottle for an hour then drank over two hours. Deep ruby red, great nose of tobacco, perfumed black and red currants, some graphite and pencil lead. On the palate at first the wine was shining with lots of fruit, delicate acidity, superb structure and delineation, with soft tannins within the spicy finish. However after 2 hours, the wine started to fade becoming light and one dimensional and couldn’t hold its own versus the Margaux 1989 drunk alongside. Perhaps an off bottle or my tired palate?
