Slow-oxed 2-1/2hrs in Burg glasses & btl prior to dinner. Semi translucent ruby red. All the class, balance & perfectly ripe fruit we were promised w/ this lauded vintage. Tonight this showed finesse, an elegant mix of red & dark fruit, minerality and tertiary mushroom & forest floor. 13.5% alc. Killer at age 18 & still some upside. Wish I had a couple more. Paid $40 on release.

Took 60 minutes in dcanter to open. Initially it was out of balance, but smoothed out at 60 minutes. Likely will continue to evolve and will wait 5 years till opening next bottle.

I can do no more than entirely confirm MC's preceding detailed note. This is in a most agreeable place at the moment. After 30 mins decanting, a lovely expressive nose, and a delicious mouthful - well balanced, resolved fruit, still a bit of sweet raspberry but gentle vegetal notes that linger with pleasure. A good £18 worth en primeur.

Beautiful wine, smooth as silk, lovely fruit with some secondary notes showing (leather, mushrooms). Medium finish. Kept improving with air.
