  July 11, 2019 - Rarely seen vintage on account of the fact that the Right Bank excelled back when nobody was drinking Right Bank. I actually preferred this a notch to the '55 vintage a few of us had a year ago from the same cellar. Fill on this bottle was low/mid shoulder at best, but the color is a deep, luminous ruby with just the barest bricking at the edges and it's obviously in fine shape. On the first sip it's actually a bit backwards, gently herbal with the structural frames bolder than the fruit, but it fleshes out nicely, first with the fruit freshening up while retaining its structure and reddish complexion, then with the fruit turning blacker and fleshing out enough to cover the frame and leave a smooth, suave spherical impression and a polish you wouldn't have thought it capable of from that first taste. The interesting non-fruit elements of the flavor mostly come out on the back end, which features some black truffle and nuttiness. Food in particular did a lot to draw more personality out of this, which is what gave it the edge in my book over the more sweetly fruited but simpler '55.

  negociant bottling, still youthful, fruity and extract sweetness, many people around told me that 1952 was a really good year, I will believe
