  Traditional turkey dinner, early Oct 2013: not decanted; crimson color; classic Cabernet Sauvignon aromas mixed with intensive bitterness of grape seeds and strong, stingy fruit acid.
  
  The acid and the bitterness pull the rating down.

  Late Mar 2012: classic Bordeaux red color; intense cassis, red fruits and chocolate; decent acid on the palate; surprisingly lightweight body. 87-88 points.
  
  A part of the wine was put into a closed bottle and tasted 1.5 days later: same aroma/flavor impression; the acid was greatly reduced; medium body; classic Claret style. 90-91 points.
