Have had two of these recently, at two different occasions. First time decanted 3 hrs (93 pts) and second time 5 hrs (91 pts). The latter appeared to be too long decanting time.
In this tasting note I am describing the one with 3 hrs decanting time.
Unfiltered. Decanted 3 hrs. Very little sediments. Dark purple colour, nearly black. Deep powerful aroma of dark red fruit which appears well balanced, tiny touch of smoked meat. Full body. Powerful, elegant, a “big” LBV that is quite a mouthful, fruity, very good balance acidity/sweetness and also well-structured. A bit sharp in the final part. This was a very nice LBV that is better than a good part of the 2009 vintage ports I have tasted. 93 pts.
