This was a really nice experience. It recovered from a crumbling cork. The aromatics are where this is as, and they were soaring. Fine slightly green herbs, eucalyptus, leather. Fruit is all tertiary, with mushroom and leather character. Palate shows plenty of acidity, but has lost the flesh of young. Strong finish. Shows above its pedigree, but still a wine on slow decline. For lovers of old bdx (claret).

Only slight signs of aging in the color. Perfect earthy nose. Earth and leather in the mouth, followed by long continuation on the palate. However, the wine is thinning. Really great after 30 years, confirming its great status as cru bourgeois.

Good, but showing its age through it poor storage before i bought it. Glad to have it, but I probably should have drunk it sooner. With better vendor handling it could have been better.
