Great hidden gem at $55 on the list at Berns for a 13 year old Bordeaux that paired perfectly with steak. While not the most profound, the entire medium-aged Bordeaux package was there in terms of darker fruit, some tar, leather and spice, tannins integrated but present and medium+ finish. Drank very well the second night too.

Decanted for 1.5 hours. Aromas of leather, burning embers, black cherry and iron. Flavors of iron, plum, black cherry and something else I could not identify. Ends with a 15 second finish with iron note. This wine was a better buy at sub $20. Still has some interesting characteristics but a bit short of 90 points. Will update if the wine changes.

Was tasty, very fruity and dark. Very good, but prefer a slightly more balanced style.

Thin and forgettable, way over priced...
