Roller coaster ride. Last was outstandig. Precise dark fruit. Great grip. One prior was tart, unforgiving. Priors to that needed time but were lovely. Champy is underrated.

Tonight this was all big, rustic, dark red fruit that still had a fair amount of structure left on the long, leathery finish. All in all quite nice, but I think it still needs a few more years to unwind.
This bottle needed every bit of 3 or 4 hours of double decanting to open, then it was all deep, penetrating, dark fruit, asian spice, earth and sous bois. Really good, but still quite young with a lot of structure. I think this still needs quite abit of time.
