Sunday, October 8, 2017 - Popped and poured a sample taste before dinner later today.
Great Bordeaux nose, with a distinct tobacco/cigar box note that is very appealing.
Somewhat dilute on the palate, though - a nice "luncheon claret", with blackberry fruit and good acidity. Given the vintage, still in pretty good shape, but probably a wine best drunk up over the next decade.
