From magnum. The first few hours after opening this was still pretty tough, but it really blossomed the second day. Dark plum fruits lightened by balanced acidity. Moral of the story…. Still young and worth hanging onto.

2 magnums d'égale qualité. Ouverts et bus sur 3 heures. Robe grenat, très légèrement plus claire sur les bords. Encore quelques traces de fruits rouges, mais on s'oriente plutôt vers des notes de cèdre, de marc de café, de sous-bois, en belle harmonie, les tanins sont souples, le vin est facile à boire mais n'est pas dénué de caractère. La finale est un peu faible. A boire

Nice bottle, still youngish and improves after opening. This should last for another 10 years. Sort of sorry I decided to sample it. Went well with Roast Beef, has the stuffing to stand up to hearty fare. An good example of what a Bordeaux should be. Probably needs a few hours of decanting to show its best side.

A dû être agréable, mais déjà trop ‘vieille’, a un peu passé l’apogée. Bordeaux classique.

Brick red. Wine has left primary stage aromas. But still some fruit. Firm body with structure. Good balance. No edges. Still fresh.
