A good nose with gods length and drinking well tea leaves not over powering fruit, black currents

Drinking beautifully, lovely core of blackcurrant with minerals.

Going strong approaching its drinking window. Generous and unwound.

O don’t think I have even clocked 9.4
I mean it: perfect producer, year, time to de-corking, Paris, a real restaurant to provide the support for this exquisite wine, everyone should experience this at least once!
Merci Emmanuel Perinaud ...RIP

Ready and outstanding. Last note was from 2012 So I figured “its time”. Classic aroma only Bordeaux can give. Refined tannins. High toned fruit. Wish I had a case.

I actually bought this on release. Destined for the decanter, will check back in a couple hours.

Still tight, primary fruit (black and red currants, plum, blueberry), pepper and smoke, oak flavors and tannins. Best with a substantial piece of meat at this point.
