April 22, 2012 - Shipped to Europe 1 month ahead of arrival. Decanted for 1 hour+ prior to consumption with friends. Every sip was smooth, perfectly aged Bordeaux. Mild old world earthiness, round tannins. Everything was subtle, though, and my tongue is not skilled in old world Bordeaux enough to appreciate the nuances. My friends that drink Bordeaux regularly 'ooo'd and ahhh'd' the entire tasting, and would have scored this 99-100. This comes from a very experienced Bordeaux connoisseur, who has 6,000 bottles in his cellar, with Mouton and Latour stacked like cords of wood. For me though, I simply knew I was drinking something smooth and old, with little jumping from the glass so I cannot justifiably score it higher.
