  A lovely Bordeaux and one that has been anchored in the acidity that keeps it moving slow. This is fully mature now and in the third stage of its evolution with nowhere to go. Here you get a surprisingly quiet nose but the wine underneath is Bordeaux through and through. Melted pencil, cedar, some floral elements, and a distinctive cool climate Cabernet herbaceous note that is probably another factor in the longevity of this modest Pauillac. The chocolate notes bring in the third layer, telling you its time to enjoy this and release it into history and capture it in this memory. DRINK

  Farbe leicht bräunlich, mit hellem Rand, Bouquet nach Pferdestall, Sattel-Leder, großer Körper, voll, füllt den ganzen Gaumen aus, ganz tiefgründig, feiner und langer Abgang, alles stimmig, toller Pauillac-Genuss

  Thinning out, but still lively. Barnyard funk, school paste, and muted fruit. Lovely!

  Monthly Tuesday group "The Dead Sparrow": Pauillac and St. Julien (By me @ the factory): Beautiful and deep bouquet, a bit rustic, but also luxurious with beautiful oak, cedar and cigar box, plums and graphite as well. On the palate beautifully ripe dark berries which give a round and juicy mouth feel. Great length. Beautiful wine at its peak now and no real hurry. 92 – 93.

  Drank 3 hrs after opening, double decanted at open. Superb, the tannins a little too mellow but here’s a classic aged Bordeaux that is delicious background supporter for richer foods (in this case le coucou - quenelle, sweetbreads, filet w bone marrow jus, leeks vinaigrette). Cherries mahogany, and subtle wet soil.
