Coravin fun - 1995 & 2005 Bordeaux (My place, Kent Street): From Coravin. Slight liquorice, blackcurrant, a little wet earth, peppery prickle, leather, oaky underpin lends sweet spice and cedar…nice nose but on the bold side. Plenty of juicy dark hued fruit backed by sweet spice is married to plenty of drying tannins that are quite woody and coarse. Rustically bold and lovely. Yum

Classic old left bank bdx. This bottle was quite sound. Fill capsule and cork all great.
Quite fresh on opening with some red fruits remaining and a healthy amount of acidity. A vibrant nose with old library smells, but not too tertiary or dried out. Fresh pate de fruits on the midpalate. Finish was a touch short but smoothed out with air. Even a little tannic structure yet. An excellent value then and now

Super elegant. Soft fruit and tannin structure....some Cabernet secondary character. Nice length. Very enjoyable. Added some complexity 2nd night.

Becoming flat but still interesting. Nice mouth grip.
