France, Bordeaux, Graves, Pessac-Léognan
i will note that this is showing very well. is this 10x better than a 100 dollar wine? i think time would tell, but then the wine is 10,000. c'est la vie.

wild herbal nose, really yummy, interesting, rich yet great clarity of flavors, animal, vegetable, fruit, and mineral. tight tight cut off finish

sleek, fruit foward, but with great structure. more of a tactile wine than a pick apart the flavor profile wine at this point.

2005 Château Rauzan-Ségla 90 Points
France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Margaux
lighter and more elegant, not a lot of fruit on the nose. tobacco and spice in mouth, soft and aromatic. a preferred style for me

2005 Château Malescot St. Exupéry 88 Points
France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Margaux
deep and bright colored. 1st impression on nose of dark choc, full bloom floral, pretty. great grip but maintains silky mouthfeel, a touch hot, power comes through in the finish. my feeling is it will get prettier and prettier with age.
