From magnum, the wine offers an explosion of black fruit with a lovely violet, black cherry and cassis foundation. There is a hint of bay leaf and emerging tertiary notes of leather, forest floor and cigar box. Cedar emerges on a long finish. Very elegant, silky Tannins and beautiful weight in the mouth. Truly elegant with a textbook balance of grit and earthy character. Gorgeous now and for another decade at least.

Mature, Paulliac aromas of cedar and cigar box. Lovely medium bodied Bordeaux and representative of the vintage

What a treat! Truly silky tannins, feminine, rose, floral. That gave way to a bit of incense and tea dust. Nice!

Holding up nicely, the vintage character comes through as this is a subtle Bordeaux marrying elegance and power nicely with good acidity and plenty of tannin that is starting to soften. Not a long term aged this should go another 10 easy.

Settling into its own. Not overly green with some good fruit starting to poke its head out.
