SLOFred Likes this wine: 90 points
March 16, 2019 - Got at Wine Exchange $30. Re-bottled, re-labeled and re-Corked at chateau. What a score! Fun to drink a BDX from such a great vintage without having to have aged it. I did a PnP but I recommend a 1 hour decant and make sure at RT. Classic BDX. Cigar/cedary characters. Fruit is definitely fading, but the soft and complex tannins kind of make up for it.
