I'm no expert on bordeaux but this would be put in the 'proper' bordeaux category. Silky, blackberry, cedar/pencil noted, good weight and a touch of spice on the finish.
Probably better 3 years ago as it faded fairly quickly. Still nice to add to the memory bank though.

Drunk over two nights. A middlin' vintage produces a middlin' wine, which for what it's worth, was definitely better on Day 2. Modest in all aspects, shy on the fruit but reasonable balance for what it is. Noticeable mint, coffee, and tobacco. Nothing really sticks out as good or bad. Just to the positive side of dull. Improvement from here seems unlikely.

Barely drinkable. Smells a but musty. Over the hill.

- It's balanced with a full body. Bright texture with a long finish.
