Lovely balanced aged Bordeaux drinking beautifully now. Orange peel and fruit compote on the nose and the palate. Nice finish. Buying and ageing a lower price Bordeaux paid off - wish i had more.

This wine, for 2002 which was not the best year is drinking VERY well. NO rust at all. the color was vibrant and alive. Nic rich purple. The nose had some must and socks, tar and leather and hint of camphor. The palette was scrumptous. Yummy dark fruit still present with some mushroom, tar and a again that hint of camphor. Fantastic now and could also go 3-5 more comfortably.
