  From 75cl, good cork, decanted off massive plaques of slimy deposit. Best immediately after opening: Fragrant bright cherry(!) fruit with ripe red berry undertow; nicely tertiary-complex with ever-shifting herbal-spicy notes. Nose-dived after 90 minutes into a disjointed mess. If you drink up ASAP with minimal aeration, this is in a rather lovely final swan song phase right now. I'm slightly alarmed to see that, as of today, there are 5127 bottles remaining in CT members' cellars. If some of those are in yours, please don't wait long before giving them some attention. 89-90P

  12/30/2023 - talbot61 Does not like this wine:

  A friend had received this as a gift and brought it to dinner to share with us. Our first time with this chateau, but this bottle probably wasn't giving a clear picture. The wine was very disjointed, tasting simultaneously too young and too old, with a strong and persistent tartness. Not much fun to drink.

  Capsule and cork were fine, and at least for the first hour or so after a 1.5 hour decant, things were fine, but over time, an insistent oxidative pruny note wormed its way into the proceedings. Sigh.
