Still alive and kicking, this is drinking well straight from the bottle. Everything is integrated and fully mature. As to its longevity I would hope it has a few years left at this level.

A lovely Bordeaux, at its prime I suspect. Not sure it will continue to improve but it is la fantastic food wine with plum, pepper, fine-grained tannins and a lingering finish that is nicely balanced between fruit and mineral notes. Perfect with flank steak and rosemary sweet potatoes.

Certainly at its peak, but an elegant Pauillac to be sure. Soft tannins, plums on the palate, a wisp of smoke on the nose. Really fine.

at peak drinking timing, not as deep as the 2009s but good mix of some blackberries and softer tannins
