The wonder of a solid, aged Bordeaux or a similar style California Cabernet (before the over ripe craze) is the way it works with a rare steak. Complex yet supple and savory, the marriage of the two is magical meal. This is such a Bordeaux, not great but more than solid. I finished the meal before the bottle but the comfort food effect is wonderful. This is a solid, aged Pauillac in its prime. Also my last bottle, but it would a gone a year or two more.

Okay, I went to the cellar looking for something to have with a rare New York and this appealed to me. It worked so nicely, had to not drink it all myself. Developed and complex, with a strong smoothness of an iron fist in a velvet glove. Lovely Bordeaux.

Mouth-filling inky Pauillac coming into its drinking window. Soft, balanced with good freshness and smack of menthol. Great value second wine.

Dark fruit. Hard and unforgiving

Dark berries and fruit, complex and warm with some acidity. Overall a very good wine
