Had it over to nights. First night it was already quite good after 2h of air. Soft rounded tannins, but not yet completely integrated. Will easily be good for another decade or so IMO. Second night it was really open and nice. Very good wine.

ANABELLE CRUSE-BARDINET made a fantastic real wine. It still has many years of cellar value, I would say 5-10 or more. 80% merlot 20% cab franc tastes of leather old and new, blackberry juice soaked barn floor with dry straw and wet grasses mixed with fine cigar and tobacco mint. It took more than an hour to really open up and it plateaued out for a day. It's color was brick garnet. It's dregs tasted even better with a richer texture and dusty leather plum finishing with tobacco mint. Excellent 8.7/10

Still alive This one Yes indeed The nose has got lots of fruit and sweet integrated oak Good fruit in mouth and tannins at the end The body is missing and the end is short It has some degree of complexity and more maturity Like it Definitely And best of all So does my wife Was a barguin at the time I bought it
You cant keep it longer And careful with the air I have one more And am glad to that

Nice mature Emilion. Ready to drink, but still with plenty of life.
