Friday, February 9, 2024 - Drank last nite at CKH French wine dinner. I've had this bottle many times, having bought a case way back when. This clearly was this wine's best showing ever! Nose exudes aromas of cigar box, lead pencil, black fruit and forest floor. Medium body, plenty of fruit, black cherries, cigar box, tobacco, green pepper, lead pencil, etc.--everything you'd want and expect from a premier aged left bank Bdx. Perfect acidity level to balance the wine, soft, but still-noticeable tannins, pleasingly long finish, with great concentration and balance. This is a sexy, yet brooding bottle of wine that is only now reaching it's heights 24 years in. Expected good, received great! I'm very happy I still have a few bottles left. Bravo!
