Wow, continues to get better, racy acidity, fresh, loads of minerality with a kiss of sweetness. Mostly tropical fruit with some lime. Same as prior bottles with lots of tartric acid crystals but the wine itself is quite nice.

92-93 fully mature Bordeaux, nose had some dusty library/cellar funk that took a minute to blow off but when it did showed leather, savory notes, tobacco, fairly classic nose. Palate had fully resolved tannin, nice acidity and medium persistence/length. Solid showing tonight. 90s are consistently one of my favorite vintages for Bordeaux.

Nose is a bit reticent, subtle lime and white florals. Palate is full of white peach, lime rhind, minerality and high acid. It does have some weight mid palate and feels a bit clunky at times but overall drinking great. Finish is dominated by citrus and a little warmth. Great now and ready to go but still has plenty of life ahead.

For me when I score a wine it is a snapshot in time, and thus my score reflects that, a plus simply means I think it will get better with age, I just have no idea how much better, maybe it will stay the same, maybe it will transform into that miraculous 100 pt wine, who knows.
