Tried côte à côte with the Cos D'Estournel '96, albeit the G.Larose was 375ml, this was so intensely concentrated/balanced & showing beautiful intensity of fruit. A true standout, but I've always loved this wine.

Honesty gets you a long way in life. And I personally thought this wine didn't have a lot to give....flat flavours, tannins were harsh. Let it breath for 3 hours and decanted it...still nothing

Classic Bordeaux nose. Tannins are resolved. Very smooth, good complexity with medium length on the finish.
