What old Bordeaux is all about. About perfect as it gets. 9.8 only because I’ve had a few better bottles of Bordeaux than this but not many.

Mature with cassis , cocoa , minerals , gamey, and a touch of spice . Perfect balance a great 82 that does not show the ripeness of the vintage .

Cant’t believe experts say this 33 year old wine is simply not yet fully mature. Spectacular aromatics: chocolate, red and black berries and a note of fresh roses that is just unbelievable. Palate still very compact and powerful, a legendary Chateau Margaux.

From the most famous vintage in my lifetime. So complex. I just tasted it blind and thought that it was a Pomerol.
