Off aromas of lawn grass, herbs, wet earth and tobacco, gruff textures and an earthy, black cherry finish were found in this bottle. I've tasted better examples. This was probably an off bottle, but as with all mature wines, there are no great old wines, just great bottles.

Brickish in color, with an earth, truffle, plum, steel, mineral and blackberry scented perfume, this concentrated, old school wine was austere in nature. Produced before the property sold several acres to Petrus, the wine had old vine intensity and the ability to age, finishing with minerality, spicy plums and truffles.

Well this wine was past its peak but still beautiful after all these years. The color was a deep brick. The nose still had fading scents of cherries and rose petals. The taste yielded flavors of red cherries and a hint of currants.
