This Bordeaux had a high alcohol bouquet with a typical dark fruit smell. Tannins were immature and acidity was higher than expected. Color was a consistent ruby to dark ruby color. It complemented red meat well but was more astringent than expected. Needs to age longer, probably 2-4 years more. Definitely decant if drinking now and let sit an hour or more after decanting.
