  In its decline but drinking well for the first 3 hours upon opening. Grilled bell peppers, tobacco, leather. Drink ASAP. Max 3 years.

  light red color, light dark berry, leather, and tobacco aromas upon opening, light-medium body, black currant, black rasperry, tobacco and leather on palate. Started out fairly light but built up nicely over 2-3 hours. Great medium length finish. Not a 1990 but still pretty damn good. Purchased upon release and kept at 55 degrees since.

  What a pleasure this was. I purchased two in 2010 with advice to drink up. Not sure why I didn't but wow what a wine! Had one three years ago and it was wonderful. I think this one was even better. The nose was perfect upon opening. Decided not to decant. On the nose there was earth and funkiness which I love. Some notes of wood, leather and cocoa with a backbone of ripe, ripe fruit. In the mouth this wine was like heaven. Wonderfully mature and balanced. Slightly bold flavors but with a smooth finesse. This drank well through a long dinner but the nose blew off after about an hour. The flavor remained but the nose was gone. What an amazing hour we had with this wine!

  Opened about 45 minutes to an hour before dinner. Decided not to decant as it seemed to be ready to go. While we had appetizers, this wine turned into an absolute pleasure! This wine is NOT gone by any means. It was earthy and stinky and mature on the nose. Quite a lot of fruit left for a 23 year old Bordeaux! An absolute pleasure to drink and a PERFECT food wine. The whole table enjoyed it and couldn't stop talking about it. A lame year in Bordeaux, but the greats can make a fantastic wine any year!

  Drink it up! I don't believe there's any chance of further development and it tasted like it was on the decline.
