Decanted and drunk over a couple of days. Pretty enjoyable but slightly enigmatic and unresolved. It would be interesting to revisit this in a few years.

From Magnum. Really good place. Classic bandol notes, tannins softened greatly, secondary flavors abundent, fruit aging but holding strong, not drying out.

LI Blind at Chadwicks. Alongside '97 Ghisolfi Barolo with veal short ribs. Despite reports that this is drinking well, this bottle was surly, tannic and hard. Fine structure and while the fruit remained largely cloaked, the flavor profile was pleasing. Next night, it was beginning to relent and focus better. This gives every indication of being an excellent wine but I think better days lie ahead.

CORKED! Purchased on release and one of the few older bottles I've owned since release. SO disappointed! SO CORKED!
