A nice wine, but it seems a bit engineered. Well aged, mature Bordeaux style with barnyard, dark cherry, plum, some forrest floor. Smooth. Tannins, but still acidity in the finish, that may lift the wine for another 3 years. But better drink it now.

Outstanding wine. From a 750. Minimal bricking. Fragrant earthy barnyard nose. Still has some fruit, albeit, fully matured fruit. The layered mid pallette and acid on the finish are what make this fantastic. Imo. Probably could go several more years at this level. So good with a bacon wrapped filet.

Beautiful older wine from a controversial vintage. We had this from magnum so possible it was holding up better than a 750ml. I would give this no more than perhaps 5 more years of life.... but very elegant and wonderful to drink at this stage.

1st of 2 magnums, this was a lovely surprise, purchased from Garagiste and saved this bottle for Thanksgiving. Plums, black cherry pie, cassis, graphite, and wet soil. Resolved tannins, gorgeous acidity, and a long and fruit-laden finish. Drink now.
