  7th and 8th of 12, decanted 30 minutes, perfect corks and levels, step up on October bottle and more to it than Gombaude-Guillot 05 on night, upside, 10+ years. VGI (17).

  6th of 12, decanted 20 minutes, perfect cork and level, still quite hard work per my 2020 bottle with slightly drying tannins to fore, suspect fruit will re-emerge shortly to its advantage, upside, 10+ years. VG+ for now (16.5).

  1/14/2023 - ShakinSwedens Likes this wine:

  2 hour decant- rich nose of cassis and saddle leather. Good backbone of fruit, tannin and medium acidity. A medium length and freshness of finish with suggestion of mint. Delivered on my expectations- plenty of immediate pleasure after the decant had done its trick. Can’t see this evolving much more positively- likely to be at peak (subject to bottle variation).
