2hr decant. Intense with dark fruit and quite a heavy toast. Very smooth and drinkable. Can't see this improving but based on current condition this could hold for quite a while.

Slow oxed for 1.5 hours then decanted for 45 minutes. Very typical Pomerol nose of iron, burning embers, black cherry and a hint of plum. Flavors of cherry, plum, currant and an iron streak running through it. Still get a bite of tannin on this. Begging for food with this. Ends with a 15 second finish with a black cherry note. Has some nice fruit but all in a Bordeaux terms.

Wonderfully smooth and easy drinking. Seemed to fall apart a bit at the end of the bottle which was consumed over several hours. There was a fair amount of sediment and I left a half glass in the bottle. This could have been partly the meal, the amount of aeration but it seemed to lack the acidity and tannin it first did when opened. Was decanted then poured right away. I wish I had more, I just would have drank it or shared it faster I suppose.

Drinking very well! Plummy fruit, forest notes, bit of red pepper. Silky and lush, pleasant finish.
