Grade: G+. After 7 years in bottle, this has evolved into a fairly pleasant and quaffable table wine. Tannins have smoothed and sweetened and acidity is now balanced. Still, better Bdx can be had for $15.

Grade: O. Beware of Cheap Bordeaux... after 90 minutes in the decanter, showed some improvement from 3 years ago: less fruit on the nose, more fruit on the Palate, light-bodied, still too much acidity, small, bitter tannins. The Rothschild name has been used (or abused) to sell a lot of sub-standard juice in recent times, it's a shame.
My Grades: EXX-Exceptional, EX-Excellent, VG-Very Good, G-Good, O-Ordinary, P-Poor, U-Ungraded

Light Boudeaux but not bad for cost and its ability to last almost 10 years . Not a wine that I would plan to cellar but got lost our collection.

Mostly red fruit that came across as lighter and more acidic than previous bottles, almost reminicent of a light Tuscan wine.
