Tuesday, April 26, 2016 - Sensational bouquet: scorched earth, forest fire, low on brett but with plenty of rustic earth and soil tones in addition to wild animal characteristics. Comparable to a '66 Calon-Segur enjoyed recently but with far more depth and even more expressive. On the palate this is totally alive still and delivers fully ripe and mature currant and blackberry fruit. Tannins still provide agreeable structure. Somewhere between late secondary and tertiary wine but not too far down the line and still very exciting and pleasurable drinking. Loving these 50-year-old St. Estephes...
