Fifth Growth. Cinquieme Grand Cru Classe in 1855.
Critic tasting note: "Consistently showing well, this is a beauty with its tobacco, lead pencil, cedar, smoke, earth, cassis and leather profile. Full bodied, and initially strict, this concentrated wine took about an hour in the decanter to fill out, soften and show its best." - 96/100, Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
