This remains a wildly under-rateed and undervalued wine - I have had this maybe 10 times and it is always consistently terrific. Classic mature Bordeaux displaying tobacco and game with leather and cassis...silk on the palate, gorgeous old cab nose.

Heavy sulfur dominates the nose - throwing it in the decanter and heavily aerating in the glass helps it blow off somewhat, but this never fully blossomed over a 3 hour period. I have had much better bottles that allowed the intensity, Mineral and lightly floral nature of this wine to shine. Disappointing.

Still a stunner. Black cherry and a bit of Sous bois, excellent depth and length
