So cool when you can unintentionally save a "value wine" for years and then have a really nice experience. This bottle had some classic notes of cigar box and pencil with cassis and plum, but also some wet stone / gravel. A really nice back end palate as noted by JKW. Tannins are integrating, why would you save a $20 bottle longer?

Nose of perfume, cherry, plum, and a hint of sage and earth. Seemed delicate for a Bordeaux, built on a spine of perfume, floral notes and iron. Plum, tart cherry, spice and oak filled it out. Good balance right now. Quite easy drinking.

Cryptic note alert: Maybe better than the last one, still a little oaky and lacking fruit. Very Good.
