A typical Telegraphe. Big on everything except subtlety (or perhaps CNPs don't need subtlety - but they need something surely - depth, possibly). A lot of dark fruit here that is going nowhere.
Always a good drop, but we intellectuals more than that from our wine.
Vide.

In a fantastic place now, wish I'd decanted a bit longer.

Drinking very well needs about twenty minutes of air. Dark fruit with some black pepper on finish nice tannins
