I was rather disappointed by this having read such good reviews. I decanted this 4 hours before dinner but I still thought it was very tight and not with obvious fruit. Maybe this bottle was not very representative and I do still have 4 more, but I would have liked this to be more out of the ordinary and have something special.

93/94 PnP. A serious decently chalky bricky solid black fruits wine with lovely depth, nice freshness, very good coffee-d oak and very good length. 14%. Drink now in next 10-20 years. Needs 4-5 hrs aeration.

* Same bottle as last time, under a 3 month Coravin hypnosis.
Ok, I got it this time. It needs lots of air....Then its a chocolate laden, deliciously well rounded young Bordeaux with lots of polish for the heavy weight (in LB speak). Really showcases the terroir of graves proudly. This is a wine for all, and a great introduction to Bordeaux for your curious friends. Just make sure you give it 2 hours to inhale some oxygen. Drink or Hold

On board Qatar Airways business Geneva - Doha. Very complex and nuanced with blackcurrant, coffee, chocolate, excellent balance and very long finish.
