Early mature, slight bricking but purple core. Lovely classic Pessac, rust, iron and woody herbs. This is a delicious mature, reasonably priced Bordeaux.

Yes, cigar box all over the place, and plenty of tannins turning to dust that leave a finish in the front palate. But c'mon folks ... this is not a 90 point wine! It has the qualities of an OK wine from a Not-Very-OK year. In other words, missing the fruit in both the front and the finish, that make it delectable.

en nariz :Cuero, tabaco, cacao, especias, en boca: redondo, aterciopelado y con final muuy largo, en vista un color rojo teja turbio por el sedimento, en general un muy buen vino delicioso sin duda burdeos de 1999 se esta bebiendo muy bien, en esta misma ocación descorchamos un Chateau Gran-Puy-Lacoste de 1999 y que vino un vinazo y con mucho por evolucionar aun.

Well rounded wine with main notes of leather and smoke.

Silky mouthfeel with cigar, herbs, and cedar. This bottle aged well, though it's on the decline.

Tobacco and earth all over the place. Some dark fruit and dark chocolate but mainly cigar box and fine tannins.

Glorious wine from a lesser vintage. Not quite up to the standards of the 2000 but a great effort. Classic Bordeaux but riper than expected.
