Last bottle and maybe the best of the 6 pack. Light ruby/garnet color with a light pink rim. Cedar, led pencil and black currant fruit on the nose. Mature palate feel with some heft. Velvet, totally resolved. Complete. Maybe lacking the complexity for a higher score but boy is this a perfectly aged, classically styled Bordeaux. P-pere. Love you, miss you. Always thinking of you.

Good with nice dusty dried red fruit, but just a bit on the lean dry side and a touch thin. Fully mature, but note from a 375 that was well stored with perfect cork.

Smoke, meat, graphite, red fruit, oak on the nose and palate. Smooth. Only slightly more developed than it was 10years ago. Still youthful. Aging slowing.

Beautifully evolved, but as I have thought with other 95’s, not quite what I would have hoped, having enjoyed other PB more at this age. A lot of promise, just seems to fall short of the possibilities
