Saturday, June 21, 2014 - Drinking well. The wine was a little cloudy and had a fair bit of sediment, but didn't affect the quality of the wine. Nice round dark fruit flavors with just a hint of barnyard. This smells and tastes like a true mature Bordeaux. The tannins were well integrated, even if still a little forward - a good sign that this wine is built to withstand time (and it has). The nose wasn't as perfumed as I would expect - it was somewhat restrained, but came out more over the course of 2-3 hours. The finish was medium long and pleasant. This wine is very balanced and very enjoyable. Drank with rack of lamb.
