Brought this bottle (which I received as a gift recently) to dinner with friends featuring Wagyu A4 beef (grilled to perfection).
The wine was a perfect complement - classic balanced Bordeaux with well resolved tannins, nose of blackberries, cassis, black currants. Plenty of fruit on the mouth, with delicious palate nicely coupled with the steak. A perfect evening of good food and wine.
A very good wine, especially for the price. Received as a gift a couple years back. The wine was deep ruby in color. Decent nose of blackberry fruit. Very fresh & enjoyable. Capable of further improvement in the foreseeable future.

Still tasting young & fruity from a very tannic year in 1995. Long finish with some spice. A real pleasure to drink with food.
