Earthy, clay and medium bodied. First time I picked out a right bank Bordeaux on purpose and the first time I’ve identified clay and menthol in a wine. I appreciate it more than I like it. Maybe this needs more than the 60 minute decanting I gave it...EDIT: Almost 24 hours later and this wine has opened up. Poured remaining half back into bottle and I’m impressed with plum and dark fruits way more present (to me!). More supple and versatile today.
