jqspyfantastic nose showing a top class Bordeaux. finish is powerful and explodes in mouth. quite long but slightly light at the end. still developing even after 4 hours of opening. bot 2 no diff from bot 1. less impressive w poh piah. nose continues to be v good. 06/10 03/11 moi lum bot 3 was again different. very exciting and young. again big nose and stronger finish this time. nice contrast with the pintia.
