What I love about this wine: no new oak, only one cuvée, and consistent.

This particular bottle appears to have leaked a bit, so the cork was not pristine, fruit is still decent, I literally found this in an UNOPENED box of 1999 Vieux Donjon, so I’ll be reporting back on other bottles from this “bought on release” case, not too bad, really.
