Interesting TCA experience. As soon as I removed the capsule, there was an overwhelming blast of TCA. Got the Durand with a sinking feeling. Cork came out easily and it was very heavy and with a dense grain. Decanted. . . and it's fine. Better than fine. Cigar box, sweet plum goodness. Went back and smelled the top of the cork thinking maybe it was my upper lip, but nope, that thing reeks of TCA. Weird. But happy.

Rustic and autumnal, classic Pessac. Damp earth, mushroom, tobaccoleaf, beef stock, bright red fruit. Very elegant wine, drinking a point.
