After an unimpressive bottle some years ago this one was a reconciliation. Noble cedar and tobacco in the nose. Well structured and complex. Much finesse on the palate. Eucalyptus, roast aromas, tobacco, licorice, sous-bois, framed by fine cedar and phenolic notes. Remaining tannins suggest another 5+ years of ageing potential, but already very enjoyable now. I bought it for EUR 27 at that time!

Leather, ripe black plums, tobacco, clove, cumin and river stones on a generous bouquet. So classic nose from a matured Pauillac. The ripe fruits are surrounded by barnyard notes, minerals and toasted spices. Medium-bodied mid-palate on a rounded and open structure. Finish is rich, elegant and deep. At its peak now, drinking well for the next 2-3 years.

1989-2000 Top Bordeaux with Pizza (Schur House - Riverwoods IL): Single blind 1989-2000 Bordeaux. Tight and backward, slightly musty start made some think cork. While that dissipated, the fullness of great Bordeaux never emerged.

Probably done and waning. Still bright and tannic on opening though. Will report later after an hour.
