Saturday, December 26, 2020 - Rebottled at the Chateau in 2011 and in absolutely perfect condition. Opened, poured and allowed to slow oxidise over several hours.
Nose: Szechuan spice, plum sauce and a delicious savoury note are the first things to hit me. Not going to lie this smells like a luxurious Chinese dish!
Palate delivers on the nose. Wonderfully complex, savoury. Good acidity and resolved tannins. All wonderfully in balance with a lovely long finish.
There seem to be mixed reviews of this out there but this Chateau rebottling was faultless and delicious.
