From magnum. Very dark purple, no bricking. Light, slightly sour attack with herbal notes; dense mid palate with classic cabernet dark fruits, nicely complex with some briney notes. Medium-long, slightly sweet finish. A great choice for our group dinner with flatiron steak. At its peak (in magnum at least) but should be good for another 5+ years.

A nice Bordeaux blend. Very little decanting time needed at this stage. Smooth. Good ripe fruit. Mostly blue and black fruits showing with a little sweet Oak. Not particularly complex, but good balance and nothing to complain about other than perhaps it being a bit overpriced for this vintage.
