An unexpected pleasant surprise, this is a wonderful example of a mature Bordeaux, and could not be mistaken for anything else. Packed with blackcurrant, mushroom, chocolate, and leather, the nose is still fresh. The palate has sweetened, and has good depth, but the finish is a little off balance and over acidic. This is still great value and highly recommended. I agree with Sussex GB that this only needs a pop and pour.

Very nice Bordeaux. A little "light." Purchased a case in 1994 for $280. four left.
