After the decant

it is a dense purple color with a remarkably complex bouquet of smoke

dark cherries and licorice are followed by darker notes of graphite and tar as the wine opens up in the glass

a Parisian bistro favorite

Not the weightiest on the palate but still with cool dark fruit with minimal prune notes and no roasted effect. The finish was medium, balanced and soft. It was a quintessential Bordeaux to show a few friends what aged wine is like. Quite a bit of sediment in the bottle by the end, so stand and decant. Lost a little steam on day
