Meta in Singapore. With Alex and Ken. Brought my own bottle. Ruby color. Tertiary nose, lots of roses, mushroom, mint, chocolate. Med acidity, med body, med alcohol, dry tannins, med falvor intensity and med finish. Mushroom, capsicum, mint, chocolate, espresso, truffle, dried black berries, touch of vanilla. I love this and blindly it would be difficult to guess 95 - today it is drinking rather perfectly well.

This wine showed some of its age but was still vibrant. Decanted for 2 hours before serving. Typical Bordeaux tastes and smells of cedar, pencil lead, and black/blue fruit. Very enjoyable and perfectly intact. A little bricking along the edges but otherwise drinking very well.

Surprisingly good given its age and uncertain provenance. Opens to raspberry notes, which evolve to stewed prunes. Long finish.

This is a nice albeit rustic pauillac. Decanted for 2 hours. Consumed with a nice chicken roast. This is more red fruited and old-school than PC from 2003 on. Tertiary notes surround green pepper and classic cabernet sauvignon flavors. Tannins are a little course. I suspect this is at peak, and I doubt this will improve but hold here for several years.

Drinking really well although for this particular bottle it was time to drink! Chalky tannins, black cherries, plums bordering but not quite on stewed. Agree with Mark it took a few hours to come into balance, but when it did it was excellent.
Thanks for sharing this one Mark!!
