Decanted 4 hours and consumed over 2 consecutive nights. This is youthful and very reminiscent in style to the ‘05. Enticing aromatics of strawberry and toffee. Really fleshy and full of red fruit and subtle oak. A wee bit of tannic bite and not a lot of length yet but performing extremely well in its relative infancy. I’d hold but if you open you’ll undoubtedly enjoy it, especially with ample air.

Yes a Grand Cru. Not that interesting really. See also my notes on the 2010 Magnum. Faint cherry. Quite acidic tart Morello. Not worth the space in my cellar. And I doubt it will ever be special.

Mar 31st, 2019From Magnum. Surprisingly boring. Earthy nose, cloves. Morello cherry, black tea, not that much fruit, chalky, allspice? Might need more time. In this case a generous soul bought the bottle but I need to revisit my own 750’s. I am not sure if they deserve space in my cellar. Obviously expensive.

Mar 15th, 2019A standout??? After the sulfur blows off blueberries. Relative tart should be more mellow at this stage. Is it closed? Yes a Grand Cru but today not my favorite the Millandes from the same year and producer was better.
