This is somewhat surprisingly not past its drinking window. Lots of rich black fruits on palate. The nose is a bit earthy. Unfortunately, this bottle is slightly corked so a musty bitter note mars the mid palate and finish. Still, not too bad with with a hearty chicken soup tonight. Would love to see what a good bottle of this would be like.

Still 90. First sip mouthfilling. Nice black fruit, black- and blueberry. Good balance, no decay. Soft with some length. A complete wine, no signs of fatigue and enough substance. Heijda

Vin qui doit être bu prochainement. Des notes terreux et de champignons se font sentir. On sent encore quelque peu les tannins, mais je n'ai pas l'impression que ce vin est en pente ascendance. Il vaudrait mieux le boire dans les prochains mois. Tout de même, un Bordeaux qui goûte Bordeaux. J'ai bien aimé ce vin.

All about rich upfront chocolately black fruit with a very nice classic pomerol texture. It's not especially complex and it's a bit short in the second act on the midpalate, but the fruit on the attack sure is nice. Good QPR.
