With some tertiary and secondary aromas. A little touch of leather on the palate, just opened, could broaden out. -

September 11, 2017 - Spicy vanilla creeps in after the initial black currant and berries. Long, smooth finish once it opens up. Beautiful Bordeaux.

May 9, 2017 - Absolutely scrumptious! Chewy, fruit laden and multi flavored from its big bouquet through a long, complex finish. Absolutely at it's peak though I'm sure that is at least a five year plateau. My bottles were bought at a bargain basement price as if the winery and/or wholesaler was dumping the vintage. Given my experience with this wine, it's hard to figure out why. My last bottle and I will miss having no more to enjoy.
