This was amazing. Such great black fruit and notes of tar and cedar. This is a true Grand Vin. Briefly decanted to settle and didn't lose much. Still some slight acids and tannins. Ultra smooth.

Brilliant aromatics, beautifully compact and fresh with life. Chocolate, and dark cherry. One of the best 78 vintage wines I have tasted
