Not as bad as the other bottle, but still oxidized. Even with the oxidation, you could still taste the wine. It's amazing how different French wines are compared to the Bordeaux blends from CA. It's all about finesse and terroir. Very Rutherford like with that dusty aspect on the palate.

This was a lovely gem of a wine, so subtle and delicate. So much open, lively fruit for this age. Wish I could get more.

What was I thinking buying a 15+ year old wine in a 375ml format? Complete vinegar.

Too far past it prime---especially since it was a small 375 format. 5 years over due
