Tasted blind. Deep tawny color. Heavy nose with lots of drama going on. Notes of old wet cedar desk, red fruits, pepper, mocha, dark moist earth and some spice. Great structure. Has a perfect balance of fruit that strongly remains in the picture with structure and acidity. Silky, coats the mouth. Might have been the WOTN until the next bottle was poured.

2nd bottle was the wine of the night, impeccably stored, still intense dark berry fruit intensity, outstanding.

Feb 12th, 2018Dark scarlet with some amber in the rims. Almost opaque. Huge nose right out of the gate. Notes of plum, mocha, leather, cranberries, hickory, some brown sugar and a little mint. Big and bold in the mouth. Amazing perfume late into the evening. Boyz guessed 82 Bordeaux. The other WOTN for some. (Bday dinner 10/13)

There are times when I am completely surprised by a wine. Low fill, destroyed capsule but the best bottle of Mouton that I have had pre 1982. This wine was singing.

A bit shy in the nose cigar box coffee starting to open up smooth and silky on the tongue with layers of spice and earth
