  Excellent, fresh nose full of blackcurrant, raspberry, pepper, leather, cedar. Colour only ceding slightly at the rim. Great taste that lasts. This wine is still going strong despite the age.

  Aerated for 2h. At peak. Lived up to expectations.

  Lagrange 2012 : very nice nose. Integrated fruit, bit leather, bit tobacco. However at tasting the whole story falls a bit apart. Secondary and tertiary flavours rule. I should have opened the bottles earlier. But to be fair, overall the wine keeps its balance which is definitely a recognition.

  Dark purple color. Earthy, blackcurrent, and bouquet of lavender on the nose. Bright acidity sweet berry,cassis and a little bit green test at the end medium body and medium finish. Really enjoy this wine!

  Records not handy. Bought several from a local independent shop about 13-14 years ago, likely less than 30/b; this is #1. Solid cork. Decanted with normal sediment for its age. Dark purple; mature redcurrant nose; mature redcurrants, some ripe plum, good mouthfeel; some persistence. Softer and rounder than expected, seemed lacking in grip. Solid and enjoyable from a non-stellar vintage. Stored horizontally in a cool, dark basement since purchase. My evaluation: For me, scores on a "100-point scale" are misleading. I use a 4-category scale (perhaps with +/-)--not including flawed--which runs outstanding/notable/drinkable/poor. This is notable when considering quality, age, and price.
