Lovely with a long decant — a month ago
2014 vintage. Go back with Staglin to the beginning. Have usually found it (both to their credit and detriment) slightly too acidic and lean without truly embracing one or the other. Distinctive style and it obviously works for them and theirs. Rauzan-Segla from Margaux does it better for the same pricing. — 4 days ago

Double decant for sediment and pour. A splendid still dark tawny red color. On the nose: expressive notes of stewed blackberry/plum, worn leather, musty forest floor, truffles, mint. Taste: silky, elegant, savory wine with dried strawberries, leather, cedar, earth, and a peppery chocolate espresso medium plus finish. YUM! Still delivering like a champ at 45 years and glad to have a couple more bottles — a month ago
