  2/12, vg cork. Decanted and immediately served. Deep ruby core, narrow pale ruby rim. Youthful nose, black and blue fruits, vanilla, touch of mineral. Medium/full, quite rich with ripe blackcurrant and blueberry fruit, vanilla, just a touch of cedar and mineral, fresh acids, good length still quite grippy finish. Has potential, should improve.

  Blackberries, blackcurrants and cedar wood on the nose, the palate is medium-bodied with silky tannins. Beautiful ripe fruit, dark berries, graphite, earthy, nice complexity,

  Similar to last note, probably even a touch more intensity. Excellent wine with quite some length and power and at least another decade of positive development ahead.

  I believe this is the first wine I purchased knowing it won't be consumed for quite a while. How it was worth the wait. Dark color; nose of mixed berries, black currant, saddle leather; similar flavors along with some pencil lead. Med+ body with great balance of acid and tannins and a very long gripping finish. I don't think this is going to improve but if I had another bottle, I would be in no rush to open it.
  
  I preferred this over a 2000 Ch. Leoville Poyferre.

  Coming back to yet another vintage of my beloved Moulis producer. Made from a blend of 50% CS, 40% Merlot, 5% PV and 5% CF. Deep garnet colour, ruby hue. Intense aroma of cassis, liquorice, smoky plums, tobacco, earth, toasted herbs, violets, hints of dried tomatoes. Medium+ body, earthy, toasted and smoky, flavours of earthy cassis, saline cherries, tobacco, medium density, fine medium tannins, medium+ acidity, medium+ finish.
