So much time left on this. Almost primary. Delicious, quintessential Bordeaux.

Wow. This was THE perfect bottle. Very complex in all phases. Fruits still lush. Tannins resolved. Hints of leathers, spices, dust. It felt so young and packed with flavor while remaining elegant and light on its feet. Actually left some for a second night and it was still beautiful and alive. And so fun to be caught off guard by allure and intrigue.

faint notes of tobacco, a light wine with scant leather. higher acid than usual, very minute in the scheme of things.

Dark fruits, dusty tannins, lively and focused on the palate. Not bad for 38 years young.

Lovely clarity and a gorgeous nose. Leather, red fruit. Decent fruit on the mid palate. A touch of sour cherry. Very good. A well-kept bottle. Dries a touch on the finish. Dusty tannins
