30 minutes open in the bottle. Dark cherry, tar, and a little barnyard on the nose. Not a ton of flavor and a little bitterness. Easy to drink and more Napa like than French. Medium finish. For £19 it was very nice, although the nose is a big tease.

If this is what cru bourgeois are doing at 27 year l can't imagine when the 95s and 2000s will be ready. Drank at Jacobs and Co steakhouse (great dry aged steaks btw)
