Saturday, December 17, 2022 - One of the reconditioned bottles from the chateau, very pretty in fact, with a new label and all. This is the way to enjoy mature Bordeaux! No risk of misfire. A truly classic wine this, still fairly deep colour with just marginal bricking. Earthy old cellar and leather on the nose, the balance is great and the fruit mostly noticeable on the mid palate. Tannins almost fully resolved but still present, I think this will last at least another 5 years.
