Unfortunately had some slight cork taint. On the palate still showed good depth with dark fruit, cedar, and good length. The nose was the only deficiency.

Fully developed and mellowed tannins. Forest floor, tobacco, liquorice, classic cab fruits. Quite attractive. Bright and refreshing, more prune, savoury noted on palate. On the lighter side but fine and classy.

Beautiful nose, typical classic Bordeaux. A bit thin, showing the limitations of the vintage, but surprisingly it improved over the two hours or so over which we drank it. Wouldn't mind having more...

Occasional tasting group: A mixed set; mostly Bordeaux (blends). (@ PVa): What a beautiful and great bouquet; cigar box, cassis, some lead pencil, etc. On the palate good juice and bitterness, but the off vintage is clear. Nevertheless a great wine.

La Mission Haut Brion vertical (Jean Georges/Nougat, NYC): A bit hard with some nice secondary flavors. Nice sweet tobacco, iron tannins, cedar. A pretty wine, fairly light claret. Lovely.
