Started to decant it for one hour and kept drinking it with lunch for 2 hours. Quite disappointing as the nose was kind of closed and the wine never really opened up much. Very little fruit with relatively good tannin and good mineral backbone. Classic pauillac graphite tones and precision but lacking depth, complexity and fruit. Bad value for such a wine and will try the last a second bottle in a few more years...
