Black, red, and dry plum fruits; shy floral (violet) - similar to Le Volte; light earthiness, tobacco, cigar, licorice, brownish on the edge, med body, polish tanin; mild bitterness and spicy notes, with a hint of chocolate and menthol at the end; long finish and strength; extremely long-lasting +20s; everything in subtle nuances and light touch; elegant style, pt 94
Day 1 Decanter from noon to 6pm.; repoured to the bottle at 7; half bottle served in dining til mid-night
Day 2 (refringe with cork) singing today, as dry fruity scent and flowery note shine out, and smoothness was perfectly presented

black currant, cassis, rose, cigar box, tobacco, graphite, touch of earthiness on day 2, polished tannin, full body, med lasting, pt 93
double decant on day 1 - very aromatic in primary day 2 with original cork (after 28 hrs) - softer primary aroma, secondary (ie. earthiness) a bit upfront
tried to see if anything else can be evolved after long & slow breathing. The clue shows different stages of the wine and hard to define which stage is better
Very outstanding in px range!!! this is too good as comparing to same vintage lynch bages
enjoy

"red fruits, strong aroma of red fruits & cherry, perfume but not floral, hint of oak and light touch of spice, light tannin, med body, med lasting (6-8s), Overall is good (91pts) but not perfect balance due to lack of acidity and minerality.
Shadow of burgs. Quality par to village burgs
Btl decanted in refring (3 hrs to the peak, serving in cool temp is a must) "
