Decanted for 5 hours. Opened nicely, put on a little weight, and definitely could sense the pedigree. I have to agree though it was a bit unidimensional and even a bit stemmy. It was enjoyed, but I thought it would show a bit better.

decant near black in glass. rich jammy blueberry, blackberry. dark chocolate and light cigar box. Really fruit driven but all in good balance, but a bit overpowering with our dinner. If I were to serve this wine, it would either be as an aperitif or after dinner wine before dessert. As good as this is, it lacks soul and a sense of terroir. It is delicious though, just not exciting. The merlot in this blend is especially good. I'm curious as to how this wine evolves. 91++

Tasted at Halpern Grand Cru; jammy cassis, blueberry pie, custard, medium plus tannins - excellent
