Decanted for two hours appeared to be the optimal time, as the bottle(s) were fantastic with ripe black cherry, plum and tobacco leaves. Very smooth tannins with firm structure.

Game, tar, very savory, still very vibrant on the palate, very drinkable, not just a curiosity.

Tell tail tobacco , cassis , violets, minerals , lead pencil , fig wonderful balance and power. A rich Haut Brion that shows a trace of alcohol on finish but a lovely bottle.

Blanc. Incredibly young. Color - diluted Rose's lime juice. Lots of acid and tartness. Sharp. Needs air and seems likely to continue to improve.

Very good-needs a couple of hours of air, pretty disjointed in the beginning, but a fun wine.

Open and classic and fully mature, but also not so complex.
