Decanted for 1-2h. Lovely nose of leather and oak, on the palate juicy extracted black fruit, vanilla, leather, black coffee, dark chocolate, chewy tannins and minerals with an acid finish. Almost a new world feeling with fruit extraction, but the dry palate expression marks this as Bdx. Medium bodied+ Good complexity. Paired with pork bbq ribs and beef brisket.

Decanted for 4h for dinenr. Great nose of tobacco, black tea, coffee grounds. On the palate, juicy red fruit, black chocolate, tannins, graphite. Chewy. Quite an extravagant CDP, outstanding paired with wagyu steak.
