12/31/2022 - Gt25 Does not like this wine:
Decanted 1/2 for 3 hours and recorked the rest in the bottle for later. Nice nose on opening but too tannic and dry. Like licking the wood in my garage. 2nd day not great nor on 3rd day. It did open a bit but at best tasted more like a cru bourgeois than a GCC. Much preferred Ch Teyssier (Montagne) at a third of the price. What went wrong - this was a £40 present to me! Shocking value.

Merlot dominated, and after a 2 hour decant it was quite nice. Red fruit, nice mouthfeel. Short-medium finish, acidic on the finish. Decent random weeknight choice.

Small coravin pour. Nose is pleasant- black fruit, cassis, cherry. Seems too acidic. Tannins too tight. Red fruit on the short finish, acid lingers.
