Even at 15 years, this is an oft overlooked jewel . My second bottle in the last 6 months. This can be PNP'd. Nose and palate profile will appeal to anyone who leans towards the Beckstoffer To Kalon products. Medium finish. If you have this, drink now as it will not get better.

Good color and a mix of green veggies and florals such as lavender on the nose. Both a bit tight while thin overall on first blush. Evolved nicely over the course of an hour. Glad I had it with scallops and Bronzino verses something up to which it wouldn't have stood. While not as earthy and rich as the traditional left bank, it had a well made elegance and so I hope my dear friend will pour me more sometime soon.

Probably drank a little past the date but after letting it breath in a decanter for awhile, opened up nicely. Lots of flavor.
