93 Points

Monday, January 27, 2014 - This was a very nice bottle and is everything that I look for in Bordeaux. Plum, cassis, earth, tobacco. Rounded tannins that provide a nice, clean, lingering finish. Mature, but no means over the hill and right in my ideal drinking window. With roasted chicken, this went down too easy. Classic claret! Makes me realize and think that I have little hope for anything produced after 2000 that will develop into a (Bordeaux) wine with this character. 93+
