Simple decant. Elegant, but not memorable. Subtle fruit, old leather, easing tannins. Certainly in the window if not past slightly. Drink now thru 2026/8

During a 2002 vs. 2012 tasting. This did not really shine tonight. Right after opening it was tight and tannic. We decanted it and gave it 2h. Improved a little from there but stayed rather uneventful. Lovely CabFranc nose with dark fruit and earthy elements but not "First Growth ooph". I guess the sub-par 2002 vintage cannot hide here...

Vertical from 1966 to 2014 at Wine Watch: not bad but not one of the better wines of the evening and reflected this underwhelming vintage.
