Fulkt mature with nice Earth mineral cedar flavorsand siliar bouquet. Fully mature but still has life ahead of it. A nice complex older bordeaux. This bottle was not as complex as others but when Lions get older like this they're certainly bottle variation. Drink now and over the next few years. A very well balanced wine typical of the 2002 vintage

Dark fruits with smoke and mineral and Earth. Great balance and concentration. Really smooth. Fully mature but not going anywhere fast. This shows the elegance and balance and finesse of a good village that is not overripe. Highly recommended.

Dense dark and concentrated. Earthy plum leather bouquet. On the palate, smoke, leather, Earth, plum. Very well-balanced. Drinks well now but still has some tannins and acidity to let it age longer. Enjoy now over the next five years

Dense dark and concentrated. This is a little bit more backward and Youthful then previous tastings. This particular bottle needs more time. I think this one still in age well. Still lots of nice complexity on the bouquet and flavors. This particular model was available now but needed more time

Dark purple color. Gorgeous bouquet of smoke, chocolate, Earth, Cedar, leather, tobacco. On the palate, ripe Rich concentrated flavors of smoke, leather, tobacco, Cedar, chocolate, Earth. Nice long finish. Still with lots of I love you tannins and acidity. Well it is certainly approachable now, I do believe it has potential for further development in the bottle. Drink now 2 2022 possibly to 2027
