Much better bottle than my last experience with this several years ago. Vibrant nose from the beginning. Everything was great upon opening, except the finish which was a little thin, with pronounced alcohol. But, everything, including the finish, improved with time, fantastic an hour after opening.

Evaluating New Group of Old Bordeaux: Amazingly fresh, chock full of cedar, black currant, cassis with a mouthfeel that wouldn't quit. Kept improving over an hour after opening, a big surprise as one of the highlights, personal favorite bottle today.

This seemed a bit past its prime though in part because it followed a 1982 Bahans Haut-Brion. Have another and will try again soon. A friend with me had this bottle recently and thought my bottle might have suffered from variation.
