  PnP. No time to decant due to certain situation today with Thanksgiving dinner out. The waiter tried to remove the cork and it broke off in half. Luckily I had my Durand. Strong smell of barnyard and animal shit. It did not blow off until around 90 minutes later. Very little fruit left and very faint sweetness. This wine was all about barnyard. It wasn't a total turn off. I did enjoy the experience but I wouldn't want to do it again. About 2 hours later it did get slightly better. Glad it was only a 375ml bottle. If you have any left,drink up asap unless you love shit smell.

  What an Astonishment !!°
  Great Stuff for this YEAR ! Forrest floral, Fruit, slightly sweet but an
  very old school wine with tabbacco, graphit and a good lenght !°
  In comparison to the 1993 MOUTON ROTHSCHILD, this Cler Milon 1992 was much more evolved, and
  with grip and style than the real big Mouton ! So this is really worth it ! 93/ 100 Points

  Deep ruby color, with a hint of glimmering purple, it looked fine. But you could smell the strongest of barnyard smells the moment you sniffed, not entirely revolting, but very strong. I've never encountered a wine with as strong a smell of what can only be described as manure. We let it sit for about 90 minutes, wondering whether it would dissipate, but coming back to it later it was only mildly better. There was a bit of fruit, and a hint of lemon on the tongue, maybe the bottle was flawed or this is way past its prime.
