Just needed time, both in storage and decant. Better on the 2nd day Some historical stuff I found online, The Chateau Caronne Ste. Gemme property has been making wine since the French Revolution and has existed since the mid 1600's. Now in the hands of the Nony family, who is related to the Borie family of multi-chateau fame, the estate is in excellent hands. The vines average about thirty years of age and are located in the southwest corner of Saint Julien. The grapes are fermented in cement vats where they also undergo malolactic fermentation. From there they're aged in one third new French oak for one year before bottling.

Very nice. Good balance and fruit. Perfect wine with steak dinner. Wine at its peak.

Drinking well, could have done with another year or two. Velvety tannins with dried fruits, mineral and hints of spice.
