Friday, September 8, 2017 - 11th of 12, decanted 80 minutes, perfect level and partly stained cork, previous notes mixed from merely very good to very fine (post '07) with this the best bottle yet - deepish garnet, hint of amber in rim; complex bouquet, cassis, mulberry, violet, some graphite, tobacco, chunkier than the Margaux; medium full, lovely richness and drive to the fruit, very long and persistent, if without the complexity of the Margaux or the presence of the Haut Brion which I marked on a par, should hold at this level for many years. VF (18.5).
