Decanted for an hour over dinner at Carbonne. Felt it needed more time to soften. Quite a bold wine for a Pauillac. Just had a younger Pichon same week and that went down much better. Needs more time before I open the next one.

Opened up as the night evolved. Paired with a Cantonese dinner at Mott. Blended nicely. Little minerals lingering vs my preference for more roundness and fruit.

Decanters for 90 mins after some aerating. Bonded quite well with a Cantonese dinner of Peking duck and the like. Slight acidity still showing. Was hoping for more roundness and fruit.
