Decanted 5 hours. Quite dense. Mature. Very nice fruit with long finish. But lacks freshness. This bottle had plenty of life left but doubt it would have improved.

Amazing „senior“ BDX. Just perfect now and probably for 5 or so more years. No need to hurry, but I don’t think it will get any better.
Nowadays lots of even premium wines are made for young drinking pleasure. But ripened wines like this one show, that you miss most of the fun without that boring and old-fashioned „storaging“.

Agree with other notes this is a textbook aged BDX. Never had this chateau but have a general understanding of their style. Decanted off sediment and followed for an evening.
Dusty leather, cedar, dried tobacco on the nose. Still some powerful rounded fruit on the finish that showed equal to dusty earth and clay pot. A good bit of tannins still present, as they faded with time in the decanter the aged notes of this wine became more prominent. Very long finish. Towards the end of the night this was drinking like a proper Claret.
Drinking in a very good spot if you are a Claret fan. Obviously high quality and a very complete, well rounded wine that is worthy of its fame.

Showing lovely dusty leather and cedar notes on the nose that are complimented by soft licorice raspberry and blackberry preserves. The wine is beautifully balanced with flavors of forest floor and mushroom then rounds out with soft truffle and blackberry. This wine has held up beautifully and is drinking very nice. (3/5/24)
