  Had on 07.02.2024. Decanted 30 mins after opening (54mm cork in great condition) and poured two hours later. Deepish garnet, with some russet at the very edge. New barrique, mature St. Emilion dried fruit nose suggests a ripe vintage. Sweet, concentrated and seductive fruit on the front, but the wine fails to deliver what one anticipates will follow along the palate. It's not abrupt, but it is shorter than one could expect, given the reputation of the vintage and it being from one of the better GC estates. But, it develops positively, proven by the last glass being better than the first. So, there is hope yet!
  
  Anyway, the dregs in the bottle - which had been left open and sitting on the table overnight - were substantial enough for a small glass to be poured the next day, around 24 hours after it had been opened. It was quite remarkable how both the nose and palate were unchanged after this time. An even longer sit in the decanter would have helped, it seems.
  
  In all, between very good and very good plus. It should see 30 years, if properly stored.

  Garnet. Took 2 hours after decant to open up. Nose between tertiary and secondary aromas, such as plums, tobacco. Taste smooth, as the nose. Good.

  It's pretty much gone. Just the remnants of tannins. Medicinal, light finish. Last bottle of six, maybe waited just a couple of years too late.
