Disappointing performance considering previous bottles tasted of this vintage. Nice bouquet though, but disjointed on the palate with dried and slightly greenish fruit, light body, and a surprisingly short finish. An odd bottle? 90?

Cork broke, decanted through an aerator for 2 hr. Vibrant medium(+) ruby, bright ruby rim, barely translucent, narrowly spaced legs !13% abv, Nose of red fruit, barnyard, cedar, earth notes; slightly perfumed Bordeaux aromas. Dry, medium-medium(+) acidity, medium ripe tannins and medium(+) body. Complex palate of blueberry, baked cherries, chocolate notes, leather. Beautifully balanced, displays freshness and youthfulness, slick silky texture, luscious. Long well-defined tightly-bound and elegant finish. Fantastic *** At/nearing peak drinking window. With Porterhouse steak, enjoyed with Mees and Francine.

What a fabulous bottle of wine. I've enjoyed every bottle of this I have had, but it's so awesome now. I wish I had a lot more, but it sadly was the last one. Smooth, rich, lots of beautiful mature Bordeaux flavors, mellow, smells good, tastes incredible.

(Lagrange) Stunning nose of cocoa, leather, mint, bbq sauce, menthol, asian spice. Very aromatically precise. Almost like a solid in the mouth. Great density and weight but still retains elegance. It was amazing how big how many of the 2000's were but what was more amazing was how much elegance they had. They all punched you in the face, but you saw it coming in very slow motion. Remarkable - - this vintage.
