Tasted at the Left Bank Bordeaux tasting at the home of FreeTheGrapes 1/19/2005.

This wine was decanted for about 24 hours. It has a very exotic nose of Indian spices, some soy and teriyaki. On the palate, it was little bit thin and simple, with abundant cherry flavors. On the palate, it seemed a little bit more like pinot than normal Bordeaux. It is possible this wine may have been decanted too long, but FTG thought it would need the time, being so young. Maybe 85 points for this showing, but if I were trying it again this early in its life, I would like to try it with less decanting.
