Progressing ….needs 39 mins to open….dark as night ….dried cherries, anise, rosemary, tar…a bit of tii ok tannins. Think this will be better in 10 years

Still enjoyable BDX with very present notes or dark fruits and some herbs and a hint of tabacco. Delivers all (or just bit more) You can expect from that quality level after 15 years. Should be good for a few more years.

2009, I had this bottle in my cellar since 2012. I wasn’t sure what to expect but wow what a great wine for a reasonable price. Visually no signs of aging, nice nose of raspberry smoke and black pepper. Fruit is still very much present. Balanced acidity polished tannins and a medium to long aftertaste.

High extraction and big fruit for haut medoc. Not the elegant and mild mannered table wine that I was expecting. Stewed, ripe red fruit with lots of sediment, shows notes of coffee and scorched earth as it warms in the glass. A little hot…I took this all wrong and might give it a point more with a rich, fatty meal. Reminds me of something from fronsac, like ville cure….this should actually age well! Drink or hold

Agree with TN from Purple Tooth. Lots of stewed fruit, a bit syripy, quite evolved, big wine.
