Drank with CT friend via Zoom "bottle swap" tasting. 1 hour decant for Day 1. Fullsome body. Dark fruits (blackberry, blueberry) prevalent. Smooth integrated tannins. Medium acid. Enjoyed more and more as worked way through first glass (more decant time perhaps?). Lost a lot by the second day, so don't wait once it's opened.

Decanted 4 hours. Firm balance and long finish. Nuances of mint in nose and taste. A pleasant wine to drink now, but I hope it shows more in the future.

Coravvined, first glass. Fruity but austere for about 2 hours. It then opened up in the glass with cherry, strawberry and cassis and Cabernet Franc leafiness. Pretty with air, but not worth $200. Perhaps time will help, since it is rather primary, but for that kind of money, go for a Grand Cru Classe from either bank.

Good wine, but not great wine. Perhaps still too young, but seems hard to believe of a 2000? Well balanced, but just didn’t find it that interesting.
