Delicious, rich, round and dry, perfectly in style, drinking very well already, almond, finesse, excellent length. Really very lovely, Bolly on splendid form.
Paired with the Léoville-Barton 1986. Obviously the Lynch has more blackberry and raspberry fruit, but both wines still seem very tight and tannic. Will they ever come round?
Paired with the Lynch-Bages 1986. Obviously the Léoville is the more classically styled wine of the two, but both wines still seem very tight and tannic. Will they ever come round?

Dégorgé October 2005, base wine 2002, 93% in the échelle, 48% PN, 33.5% C, 19,5% PM. Ripe and nutty style but focuses more on elegance than on weight.
