Decanted it about 1.5 hours before serving. It was outstanding! Deep, complex, good fruit, well balanced, a wonderful Bordeaux. Note this was not considered a good year and this wine only received 90 points by WA & WS and was supposed to be early drinking, consume by 2014. I strongly suggest the "experts" re-evaluate this gorgeous wine!

Académie des Cinquante Claret Tasting (Restaurant Rijsel, Amsterdam, NL): Tasted semi-blind. Clearly Cabernet-Sauvignon dominated, gravelly warmth, apparent Saint-Julien or Pauillac terroir, firm but well integrated tannins, masculine style, good length, dry but perfumed finish. Classical. A resounding success for the vintage. Seems to be going from strength to strength.

Excellent fill level. Decanted 3 hours. Enjoyable wine. Not outstanding, but enjoyable. Definitely past its prime, but still very good. Probably should have had this about 5-10 years ago. Drink up!
