  This was my second opportunity to drink this wine; great fill level; rich, soft and seamless; deep and autumnal, nice tension of a toffee sweetness vs umami; still quite harmonious and balanced complexity. 95+
  2nd day: thank God for Argon and refrigeration. Still in a great place. YUM

  A nose that will stop you in your tracks! Delicious sweet nose of chocolate, caramel, various dark,damp soil tones, mossy notes. Antique furniture, touch of shoe polish that show supple, rounded flavors resembling French onion soup/beef stock texcture in the mouth. This opens up too to show more exotic spice, worcestershire sauce and other complexities. Dense yet fine in structure. Gorgeous showing and no rush for drinking immediately.
  
  Such special wines from Pierre Ponnelle over the years. Wow.
