Online Blind Tasting #5: Note is based on a tasting sip in the morning on day one, ~4cl on the evening and 0,1l filled in a bottle and sealed with argon gas on the evening of day three. Glass: Riedel Sommelier Bordeaux From a perfect bottle. Clear, deep garnet color with tawny reflexes. Clean, fully developed and medium intense, classic Bordeaux nose. Pencil shavings, tobacco, red fruit, some oak. Dense, fresh and lovely. Dry, medium+ acidity, wonderfully integrated. 13% abv. High, ripe and well-integrated tannin. Red fruit, green pepper, herbs, delicate hints of lovage. Very juicy and fresh, good tension and grip, good balance. Long finish. Really nice Bordeaux at its full peak and a fantastic PQR. Drink now. 92

Still alive after almost 30 years, but not very complex. Red fruits and a touch of tobacco. Drink with a steak.

Beautiful nose. Needed time in glass after decanting to open. Plenty of both fruit and tannins left. Will stil go a bit further. Great with food.
