nose - roasted fruit, torrefaction, charcoal mouth - brown sugar, tropical rich with coconut, loads of fruit but needs more time to calm down and intergrate. today, a bit too sweet to be an accompaniment to serious food. HOLD

Opened in the bottle all day. Fortunately the brett is gone and this again resembles something worth the price. Good structure with thick tannin and plenty of acid. Dark fruited, cassis, anise, graphite, dusty earth and milk chocolate. In the window now but easily ten years plus to go. I’m happy to have a couple more.

I opened six hours before dinner. I decanted 30 minutes prior to eating. There wasn’t a person at the table that didn’t think this was a 99 to 100 rated bottle. My preference is the 2012 but this bottle is not overrated and it’s ready to drink. If you want to expand the drinking window reduce the opening time. Tans were still good but it is ready to go right now. Boedeaux tyle as you desire.
