June 25, 2023 - Based on some of the other comments this bottle was a very pleasant surprise. Fully Mature Bordeaux, enticing nose, very well balanced, medium to long finish. PNP at La Maz in National City. No need to decant, minimal sediment, still fresh and vibrant. I'd guess it will hold for a few more years but no need to wait. Quite enjoyable overall. Drink up. It should be noted that this bottle had perfect storage for all it's years which may have contributed to its overall quality.

November 12, 2020 - Similar to the 2001. Leather, licorice, garrigue, earth, stewed plums. Shorter middle and finish; more leather, licorice, and dark berry flavors on the palate. Has held up well with good storage. Still decent acidity. 13% ABV. Opens up well with short decant. Great QPR.

All a little on the wane, sure enough, and the finish is short. But overall a pleasant surprise and a mellow, satisfying bottle. I had feared muck but all came out good in the end.

October 8, 2013 - Nothing wrong with the bottle, this is just really bad. What fruit there was has faded into a weak, sour sludgy mess, browning at the edges.
