  Fruit is tired and uninspirational. Some tannin remains but short in the finish.

  Friend came over and took this out from the cellar and drank while we were chatting late. Surprisingly for an 18 year old Pauillac, it did not need airing and was pleasant to drink from the glass. I am sure some hour opened would help, but not needed. Great amounts of black fruits, chocolate, forest floor or dried herbs, medium tannins, beginning to soften... not complex (expected as drank as soon as it was opened), felt it had high alcohol. Medium 15-20 seconds finish.

  It's in a perfect place now with bright dark fruit, floral nose and hints of rosemary, cassis, tobacco and pepper.

  Blackcurrant, some cherry and plum, cedar, raw steak marinated in soy, coffee, white pepper, fine dusty wash of tannin, ample length. Really enjoyed this.

  Professional cellaring since release; average quality cork used by the winery - lots of small pock marks.
  
  Translucent garnet. A classic-styled left-bank Bordeaux, blackcurrant, cedar and dusty notes; medium-bodied and elegant, sweet blackcurrant, graphite, on the midpalate there are fine, slightly raspy tannins and then a kiss of acidity; good length. Good for the price, extremely versatile at the table.
