Tasted one hour after opening. Pretty lean at first, but by hour 2 it was expressing red and dark fruits, earth, cedar, smoke, and leather. Brick edges to the wine. Tannins quite soft. A classic left bank wine that is starting its decline. Finish rather abrupt and short. Drink up!

Still needs a minimum of 2 hours to begin to open. Wonderfully complex nose of cedar, red current, earth, meat and leather. In the mouth, correspondingly complex. Mix of red and dark fruit. Tannins present, but soft. Long beautiful finish.

Lovely Bordeaux nose with earth, cedar and tobacco. Dark fruit on the palate. Soft tannins. Long pleasant finish. My last bottle- still very satisfying!
