Proper temp and a 2 hr decant. Much better, but nothing remarkable. Probably worth shelving a couple years. JC liked it more than I did, which is very unusual given she's typically a hard sell on anything Old World.

2009 Bordeaux is so expensive, I've had to try 2nd labels of 2nd labels. I've never had La Fleur (big $), but have had Haut-Bages Liberal in the past (don't consider it worth $50). This $26 Paulliac (Costco) expressed a nice balance and forward fruit. Not mind blowing by any means, but worth a second try. Didn't quite have the depth of a classic blend. Cheers!
