October 3, 2017 - Typical Bordeaux, and the last of my case bought in 1983/4. A lot of variations over the years; last bottle a couple years ago was gone. This one still had nice color and flavor, although less full hodied than hoped. If I had more, I would be consuming it now vs. holding.

March 31, 2013 - Popped and poured, orange brick edges, slightly pale. Nose is typical bordeaux cassis, emphasis on pencil lead, oak and forrest berries. Palette exudes mature fruit (current, cherries & vanilla). Short finish. A great Bordeaux experience, very balanced and integrated.
