  Color starting to turn brown. I drank the first half in a hurry, no aerating, no decanting, it was acidic, a bit 'harsh' on the tastebuds but paired well with my pizza covered in sausage.
  Finish the bottle the 2nd day, this time I let it breath for over an hour and what a difference! Much softer on the palate and the fruit became evident, lovely! By this time I wished I had another bottle!

  Second mag of Bordeaux I opened for a dinner party. Bottle is in an excellent place. Not deep, rich, or powerful, but very enjoyable to drink. Very well balanced, smooth. I let it breathe for a little while -- certainly no need to decant.

  Perfectly pleasant Bord Sup. Seemed to be as good as it will get. I don't think a few more years will help or hurt. Tannins well in check, fruit there, but not fruity.
  The mag was $27, a good QPR. Certainly not a big wine, but perfect to open for a small dinner party with people with varying palates. I will probably buy a few more.

  Very nice wine for the price. Color just beginning to turn on the rim. After opening up for an hour, very aromatic nose of cherry cola and pencil shavings. medium to full bodied sour cherry and cassis and soft dry tannins balanced decently by acidity. Long finish.

  Very nice Bordeaux for the price, still noticeable tannins when first tasted, but opened up nicely with some air, medium bodied, would buy more if available.
