1997. Developed well after 3-4 hours decanting, lots of green pepper evolving into cherry preserve with slight vanilla finish. Serving at cool temp helped. Somewhat muted bouquet overall suggesting past its prime.

alot of funk out of the bottle, blows off in 60 minutes; rather light nose after that, soft cherries/blackberries, on the waning phase of its life; i did not taste this when younger, wish i had. spice at the front and back of the tongue. the nose is more interesting as one contemplates.

0.375 L bottle, early Dec 2011: rubin red color; red currant, strawberries, cherries and vanilla; smooth and fruity on the palate; round texture.
Another excellent 1997: nice wine!

Typical mature Bordeaux, probably slightly beyond it's zenith. Will drink the remaining bottles within 2010.
