Incredible experience with something so aged, yet hitting on all cylinders. Nose was Lafite perfection and palate was lively through the finish. What a treat

Second tasting of this wine after a disappointing encounter four years ago. This one was far better. Even some black fruit left, though short lived. Strong secondary and tertiary notes with cedar, ash, mushrooms, leather and underwood. Peppery, almost shiraz like spicy ness. Surprisingly alive, good balance and pleasant lengthy finish.

Drank in Hong Kong Past its prime. Slight cloudiness in the glass. A burgundian nose with hints of saddle, graphite, mint and earth. Sweet finish on the palate.

My surprise of the night. Classic palate with a richer profile than I recall from past experiences with this vintage. Red cherry, spice, soil notes, nutskins. The palate did not fully open until two hours in

Mature but still complete red fruit. High note sweet spice on the nose. Lengthy finish with soil and spice notes. 94-95
