Opened and let breath in bottle for 5 hours. First glass about 2 hours later. Started quite nice but felt like it became muddled and unfocused over time. Or maybe that was me… Paired with 50 day old Finnish Sachi

Lightish ruby, great color. Nose isn’t big. Somewhat lighter palate than I’d expected as well. Opened up over time though, and an hour decant would benefit. Nice raspberry and other tart red fruits, and flavors linger. Very good steak wine! Nice, maybe hoped for more from the producer and vintage. 92.5! (-;

second time having this in less than a year. huge Parker score but this bottle is even father from "perfection" than the last. cranberry, rosehip, and tart red fruits make this a lovely food wine but a bit puzzled at the hype. must have tasted rather different in its youth

2010 Was a Good Vintage in France (Jordan's Place - Chicago IL): Open 4 hours, 1 in decanter, lots of sediment. Powerful black fruits, meaty and tannic, yet easily balanced. Very long finish. Great now with upside.
