Unfortunately this bottle was passed. The wine still displayed great tanins and alcohol, unfortunately the bottle was definitely oxidized (maderisee) and the first taste in your mouth was that of bad port. After a while this taste would go away and eventually you could find the alohol and the tanins.

Great wine, had a blast for new year's eve with it. Outstanding wine, rated only 88 by Parker, we could not tell which one better between this one and a Chateau Haut Brion 1998 (rated 96 by Parker). Great black fruit, good body, not too powerful.

Great wine, only 88 on Parker... but I think deserves a 94. Great aromas, deep black fuits. Tanins were not too sharp. I had it with pigeons, great paring.
