Classic Pauillac with plums, cassis, graphite, cedar, leather, dried flowers, underbrush. Smooth, decent acidity, polished tannins.

Medium ruby core, garnet rim . More leafy and crunchy cassis, slightly foursquare , cooler slightly mint touches . Crunchy dark fruits on the palate , more tobacco , cedar , grafite notes , fills out on the palate pretty well. Good refreshing acidity , moderate quite fine tannins, slight green notes on the ok length . Good to drink now and probably won’t improve very much , now and over the next 10 years.

We started the night with a 98 to build ourselves down to older age. Great wine. It can and should be kept for a bit longer. A lot of fruits and meats in the wine. Great and all smiles.
