  Decanted this wine for about 60 minutes. Paired nicely with Argentinian Chimichurri Flank Steak with a side of cheesy orzo and corn.
  
  👁 - Deep ruby in color, with purple shades, and completely opaque
  
  👃🏼 - Pepper, leather, pencil lead, smoky, earthy, minerals, and dark fruits
  
  👅 - Full-bodied on the palate, with soft tannins. Very plush and smooth finish.

  Let bottle breath for 2hrs and the a 1 hour decant sampling along the way. Paired with steak frites and pan seared Brussel sprouts. Similar tasting notes from my last bottle. A nice Bordeaux that evolved pleasantly over the course of the evening. Good value. Wish I had one or two more bottles because this wine still has some time.

  Solid Bordeaux, garnet purple, dark fruit, leather, cigar, tobacco, well structured with lots of earth and spice, lovely mouthfeel and smooth finish. Very good value, 2nd stay still going strong.

  Decanted. Mineral, black pepper/spice, some cedar, and a hint of green pepper on the nose. On the palate is mineral, wet stone/slate, some ripe red fruit, and earthy/meadow. A smooth long dry finish with some spice and mild fruit. A good food wine that paired well with flank teak with chimichurri sauce, grilled peppers, baked potato gratin, and a fresh-baked rustic boule.

  Pretty much the classic Bordeaux style. Full bodied, lots of old world earth, gets better as it opens.
