Opened and decanted one hour before lunch. Great tertiary notes on leather and tobacco. Wine is powerful but tanins are well integrated. 3/4 of the bottle was stunning. Unfortunately, mouse came around the corner for the last part. Maybe not a good Idea to decant it for one hour?

Nose not very expressive at first. Then opens up on hay. Wine is long with depth without any flaws. Taste of hay and grapefruit. No particular evolution through the dinner. Ready to drink now.

Amazing wine. Rich and very long! Taste of toasted bread. I will wait a bit for the next bottle as it still has a lot of potential.
