Used the Durand on the cork - soaked to the edge. Decanted for 2 hours.
This wine had some gaminess. Smooth. Fruit was a bit wild and overpowered by the savory flavors.
Paired well with the chicken skewers and onions. Needed complex flavors in the food to pair well.
Good but quite a bit below the Beaucastel — 8 months ago

Powdery that turns to creamy and quickly leaves cherry with a nice dry finish. Dark in color and complex in taste. Slight brine with an astringent aftertaste — 5 months ago
