Flirts with 9.3. Had this five years ago, not ready. Tonight, beautiful & elegant. Classic Bordeaux. Ralph the Bordeaux buyer for K&L likes this producer quite a bit. Just for their craft and then for the value they bring to the table. I think this was around $25 upon release.

The palate is lush, rich elegance. Ripe, juicy; blackberries, black raspberries, plum, very dark cherries, strawberries & an array of purple fruits. Lead pencil, dry tobacco with ash, nutmeg, cinnamon, dark spice-box, vanillin, anise, mid berry cola, limestone, dark, rich, soil, dry pebbles, steeped fruit tea, sandstone, sandalwood, dry herbs, floral bouquet, excellent acidity, well structured, balanced, knitted finish that wire to wire is polished and lasts 1-2 minutes. Excellent Ribcap fodder. Has another 8-10 years of good drinking properly stored.

Decline has started, is slowly fading in the glass. Prunes, dates, figs, cappuccino, milk chocolate, caramel. Still nice now, but hurry if you have any..
