Smokey with roasted red meat, earth, black dark fruit and a hint of olive. Elegant and silky smooth with a decent, though a little sour, finish. Lingering ripe drying tannin. Opened yesterday. Now-2019.

Vintage Year. Deep ruby/purple, young looking. Lots of oak and black fruit on the nose. Good attack and acidity, with ripe tannin. Lots of fruit and good body and length, hints of coffee and liquorice.. A keeper. VG

No decant. Straight ahead easy drinking mature Bordeaux. Pencil lead shavings, cassis, gooseberry, leather and earth notes. Tertiary flavors abound. Good finish and decent acidity. Drink up.

Très bien conservé. Bouchon exhale des odeurs de bonbons. Belles jambes et allure charmeuse. Ne se decouvre pas rapidement. Raffiné.

Very good, nicely balanced but not the intensity or wow factor you would hope for from a 96.
