This is drinking well right now but could easily go another 10 years or more. Huge black fruits, chocolate, plums, cassis, lead pencil, cigar box, cedar, tobacco. Such a pleasure to drink a mature Pride but with a lot of life left.

Decanted over an hour, which it needed. This was great. Still showing traits mentioned in wine enthusiast & connoisseurs guide tasting notes. Having it with ribs was extra delicious.

Still youthful and sturdy. It’s really too early for this wine but a 2 hour decant brings out that signature Pride perfume on the nose. Thick and deep on the palate with the dark fruit typical of this claret.
Surprisingly I found the 2012 more evolved than this.
Enjoy now or wait 5 years without risk.

This is still a big, massive wine with lovely fruit concentration and depth. Fully mature and drinking great now. Decanted for 30 minutes. What made it seem even bigger was that it followed an elegant 2002 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru just prior. Nevertheless, I enjoyed it.

Decanted and drank over 4-5 hours. Powerful balanced. Long finish. Damn good. Should keep another 5-10 years
