  3 hours in the decanter. Give it one more. 10 000 pounds of coffee, cocoa and black chocolate in the taste. And here comes the problem. Everything else is overhelmed but these flavors. Like red cherry and blackberry. Very long, juicy finish with nice spice and all the trio I mentioned above. Lovely smell though. Coffee, cocoa, black chocolate ( how can be different), but also nice flowers, forest, minerals and red cherry. Plus much more, but they are so unique I can't name them( spices?)
  I expected more from this bottle.

  Even younger than I expected, no tertiary aromas to speak of. But delicious now, concentrated fruit, good structure, not dominated by oak, all about red and black fruit, spices. Should gain several points with age.

  At the winery in magnum over dinner. Hmm. Felt like this could have come from anywhere. Big oaky chewy. No balance or elegance and it won’t be better elsewhere. Will it come round? Maybe, but we found so many better wines at the price point or much lower particularly from less renowned appellation (Fronsac etc)

  Nose opens slowly; taste is rich; decanting needed; is early in in its drinking window but already very tasteful
