Found this in my cellar and don't have a record of where or when it was acquired. We drank this for Christmas Eve dinner. It was wonderful. While clearly an older Bordeaux, this wine felt like it had years of life ahead. The rough edges were all gone, but at the core was immense power with finesse and subtlety. Bricking at the edge. Aromas of orange peel, clove, camphor, and mint. Intense flavors of reduced forest berries and fruits. Long, long finish. Fabulous wine. Drinking tremendously now, but will keep for a few more years, at least.

Still young. Fresh raspberry and strawberry on the nose...needs quite a bit of coaxing at this stage. Nice acidity and fine tannins. Hold for a few more years - will likely improve with more time in the bottle.

Superbowl wine, served with 18 hour pecan-smoked brisket. 1 hour decant. Great energy - sachertorte and cherry compote. After 2 hours in the decanter - soy and mint. Later - stewed berries and chocolate. Nice wine.
