Here is a wine I never thought I see. Holy FK! What a bottle and what a wine!!! The earthy nose was loaded with cigar box, chocolate, truffle, Cuban cigar wrapper, mint, cherry and leafy aromas. Opulent, intense, lush, rich and long on the palate, the wine rests on your palate long enough to give it thought, telling you, you need to take another sip, becuase this is a wine you are not going to see again.

Dark red fruit, great definition. Arguably a lot more evolution to come on this bottle. 95+

Less fresh than the best bottles. Still displayed the varied soil tones this wine usually displays.

SLDS at Quay: Wow. Menthol, chocolate, tobacco, briar, leather, pepper, dusty earth and truffle - keeps showing more with air, really captivating stuff. Stunning condition on the palate - feels fresh with acid that lifts the soft fruit right up, amazing depth and texture, with brilliant balance and length. This was quintessential aged Bordeaux and quite magnificent.

Soft palate texture. Quite young overall with wonderfully expressive fruit and notes of graphite, cedar and dark soil. 95+
