Wednesday, May 30, 2007 - 6 times testing last year 2006, I rated this wine between 89 - 93 points.
From the only 1 best bottle :
-Light to medium ruby colour, look very nice. ( other 5 bottles were amber edge )
-Scents of clean Mouton, cedarwood, alcohol, redberry, watery, quite good and better than I expected ( 65/100 PP )
-Light to medium-bodied, a little bit high acidity, not complex but acceptable, Burgundy taste...Umm...I love this wine....
-Long finished more than 60 seconds was very impressed.
Recommend :
-For everyone who has it, if it cames from the best cellar, please drink it now or within 2 years.
-This is one of the Classic Mouton and let see how the wine-maker worked it out in this poor vintage.
-Come feel the Glory....Drink the beautiful Label of 1st Growth History....
Cheers,........

Plan on drinking in late August.

The structure of this poor vintage can't hold any longer in the decanter. Just open and smell it from the bottle. If it's smell good, clean and nice, let it breath for 15 mins before drinking. Do not leave the wine in the glass too long as well.
The best way is pour and drink it sip by sip. Last 2 months it's still really nice and hope your bottle will perform very good too.
Cheers...
