  (Decanted for one hour)
  Deep red colour with mature herbs, violet and licorice in a very delicious way. Nice and smooth tannins on the mature palate showing sweet primary fruit still adding a youthfulness. Very nice and pleasant.
  (Best 2001-2021)

  Wow un Moulis en Médoc vieux de 37 ans aussi en forme !?!?
  Je suis très impressionné par l'état de cette bouteille, c'est frais, le fruit est délicat et bien présent, des notes secondaires peu évolués, encore beaucoup d'acidité, le vin est à point.
  La finale est légèrement courte mais il n'y a absolument rien qui accroche. On dirait un vin 15 ans plus jeune !
  Impressionnant la longévité de ce vin pour l’appellation.

  It says there’s another 185 bottles in our community, you are the lucky ones. Again, paid $40 for this way back in the day. Had my last one 6 1/2 years ago and this bottle is better. So much fruit and depth, smooth silky but still nice body with a fairly long finish. I’m thinking this is how good 2010’s will turn out after 37 years. The wine was ready after 15 minutes then remained the same until I chewed my way through the sediment an hour later.

  A firm hint of cork, although drinkable, but of course not representative.

  This one was tough to judge. It had some earthy notes but seemed like it had a hint of Brett. I’ll give it some time and revisit the rest of the bottle tomorrow.
