Not sure that this has held up well. First bottle we opened was corked. This one wasn’t but still leaves a bit to be desired. Fruit quite gone, acid weak, finish light. Still a bit of tertiary poking through which is not bad. But disappointing overall.

1 hour decant, probably needed more. More Napa than St. Julien. Dark red with brownish tones. Restrained nose of dark cherries. Black licorice on the palate and very unique wine. Short finish. Not my style of wine, but not bad.

2003 vintage. Musty and dusty old leather bound books with a hint white sage in the nose. That light Talbot body. Coming together nicely. Still a little upfront plushiness in the gums with the milk chocolate/tobacco notes on a long, supple finish. Drinking great currently.
