Decanted 1hr before drinking. A decent amount of sediment in the decanter that translated into the glass.
Absolutely classic left bank; Deep ruby in colour with some lighter reds at the edge. The nose is soft, starts with black fruit and a lot of plum, and then finishes with some gamey meat.
Lower acidity than I was expecting, with a very smooth finish. This is a great bottle and I would love to keep a few more for 2-5 years to see how it turns out.
