  First of four bottles ex WineBid. Decanted off of thick chunky sediment.
  
  Moderately clear in the glass, garnet to a brick rim.
  
  Nose has quite a bit of tertiary development; soy sauce/umami, touch of balsamic, library books, suede, dried flowers. There is still some soft fruit, more in the red spectrum. Pencilly. Oak not perceptible.
  
  On the palate the wine has medium- body, mid-minus tannin, moderate acidity, moderate alcohol, medium-long finish. The texture is really nice, quite silky. The flavors largely follow the nose though the fruit is quite a bit more perceptible; bit of balsamic strawberry effect; plus some very nice sweet old-book vanillin.
  
  This bottle seems like it was further along than some of the notes posted recently but it was certainly enjoyable — just did not come across as surprisingly youthful.

  Retains deep color. Dark fruit (blueberry) and cassis on the nose and palate but somewhat faint at this time. Sorry I didn't drink it sooner

  As soon as I saw the colour I knew it would be good - barely a hint of brown on the edges. A very attractive nose of dark cherries, redcurrants, a little plum and a hint of mint. The first sip gave the game away - still fresh and fruity: Quite fresh at first, with red cherries and redcurrants, then wham - the intensity hits - wild strawberry and loganberry go straight to the top of the palate, followed by Victoria plums, before it eases into a very luxuriant, persistent finish, with just enough acidity to keep it away from any stodginess.
  
  The style is really pretty classic - nothing OTT here. Absolutely delicious.
  
  I’ve had quite a few MSG 2000s over the years and they haven’t always been great - clearly I opened them too early, because the improvement started a couple of years ago and this is the best by far. Probably the best MSG I have tried, in fact, certainly one of the best St.Emilions I’ve had from 2000. Only the fact I tried an even better Rauzan-Ségla 2000 not long ago prevents me from giving this more than 95 points

  Deep ruby color with some dark fruit on the nose and palate. Unfortunately it is clearly past it's ideal drinking interval

  55F since acquisition on release - maintains score on differrent basis than last bottle - this bottle retains more primary briarberry character and fresh minty spiciness. Nice showing for 22 a year old purchased in idk maybe upper teens back in the day.
