Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2010

Taking a poll. How long would you let this breath? Thanks in advance!
Thanks
@Tom Garland ! That’s pretty close to what we did. Tasted PnP then waited 2 hours then drank side by side with another Margaux, ‘18 Duhart Millon, for the night.
Color is medium garnet. Nose is tobacco, forest floor, cedar, a little red fruit, pencil lead, and something herbal. Great mouthfeel. Cassis / sour cherry, blackberry, and a bit of astringency.

Love this question!! FWIW, I concur with @Tom Garland (2-4 hrs) and what you ultimately did in this case. Sounds like it was delish! Cheers!!

St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2015

2 hrs decanted. Drank over next three. Same rating as the Ch Duhart Millon 2018, but this just edges it. Very different. Nose is awesome. Dusty red fruit with some forest floor, but just a little. Palate - Fruit more prevalent and juicy here. Sticky, tarry mouth coating currant and blackberry go seamlessly into tannins that make your lips stick to your teeth. Loooong finish. This is great. Pros say wait until 2025, but I think this is great. The softening of 10 years will be cool for sure. — 2 years ago

Monthoux Roussette de Savoie Altesse

2019 vintage. 100% Altesse from the Monthoux cru. Lovely peach fruit and mineral impressions. Round, juicy and fresh. Good almondy length too. A very nice example of Roussette de Savoie. — 3 years ago
