France, Bordeaux, Libournais, St. Émilion Grand Cru
I have had excellent bottles of this wine and vintage, but alas this was not one of them. Some red fruit, earth and herbs- but the bottle seemed tired and did not sing. Sic. A WineBid purchase of unknown provenance and storage.
A really nice, mature Bordeaux. Red and black fruit. Pencil shavings, cedar, cassis, tobacco, herbs and some earth. Delicious wine. Mature. Not too old. From Magnum.

Delicious wine. Notes of cherry, currant, blackberry and spice. Delicious with the lamb and chicken kebabs, with the slow-roasted duck and on its own.
