  April 29, 2019 - This wine was a total surprise. I discovered it in the cellar while searching for nice wines to serve to guests. I can't recall when, where
  or how much I paid for it. I looked it up and saw the same 5 scores and comments you see below mine and 5 or more years old. low 80s and even a 70. I thought well it's time to open and or throw out as one suggested. About 2 hours open in the bottle and then we started to drink, 4 of us and well seasoned critical drinkers following a flowers chard and eating steak. It still has fruit on the noise, more blueberry then any other. Medium body hint of leather on mid palate followed by cedar on back palate. Quite pleasant we all enjoyed it and had second pours. The following day there was just enough for Peggy and I to have short pours. The flavors above were even more pronounced in fact Peggy says better the second day and she scored it 91. I was 89 so the above score is our average. I asked her how much would you pay for it. She said $50.00 I thought it more a $20.00 and as I see today it is a $20.00 wine. If you buy a new vintage or want to challenge this review find the oldest vintage you can find and drink it over two days and lets see. It's old French wine and it delivered!!! Surprised to be sure
