Shy nose with loosely integrated elements of green pepper, oak, roses, graphite, a hint of dark fruit. Sinewy dry fruit on the palate, puckering tannins, strong acid presence. Nice with grilled chicken; better than 8 years ago!

Wow, I'm getting a terrific bottle of Bordeaux, mid weight, balanced, great Wednesday night keep the week going strong stuff. I could have polished off several bottles by myself. What's going on with the rest of the reviews? Seems like many opened this too early.....

Not as much fruit or full bodied richness as #2 but still pretty good

I tasted cuvée #2 yesterday and was pleasantly surprised. Tonight we opened #1.
These are both respectable high 80s wines.
