Complex, satisfying margaux nose and still plenty of punch on the palate to make this is a wonderful drinker. This bottle was in excellent condition and if properly stored I see no reason to rush but also no reason to wait.

Young but very approachable after an initial 3 hour decant. Fruit and spiced cake laced with hints of smoke and licorice. A nice round mouthfeel but the tannins still have some sharp edges. The nose never came around for me - was always masked by too much heat. 1 of 12 - feels like a lot of potential here - will be fun following this one.

Opened for an employee wine dinner I cooked. Decanted for 2 hours - wine continued to evolve in the glass as we enjoyed over the span of ~ 2 hours. Wine was showing marvelously - black fruits, tobacco and spices. Silky and rich with a long finish. Great to share such a wonderful example of this wine and vintage with my employees.
