Starts relatively thin and acidic, but after some aeriation shows as tasty, lighter style bordeaux with some tobacco, hint of earthiness, blackberries and integrated/secondary characteristics. Good acidity made it an excellent paring with fillet. 89-90

This is a surprisingly delightful $20 Bordeaux. To my tastes this is fully mature with lots of dark, earthy cassis, some pipe tobacco notes and some hints of chocolate. Quite nice.

This bottle seems to be past its prime, it was a little dilute and flat tasting

Russk. Blind, clearly Bdx. I thought 2006. A little bit dirty and muddled, otherwise I would give it 91. 90+pts.
