Figeac vertical: Liked this a lot, thought this was the 2000 and vice-versa. This was how I imagined the 2000 should have been, slightly green but very much balanced and a saline, long finish. Beautiful restraint to the wine. My second on the night but I think others didn't like this as much.

Forest floor herbs mint and floral notes. Enticing as the nose just draws you in to this. Lean yet structures and fairly balanced. Robust concentrated finish. Nice length. Elegant and fresh.

Very much agree with the tasting note from TAO in 2012. Lighter in color, NO FRUIT, but still complex enough to be quite interesting and enjoyable. I agree: dried herbs, dried leaves, and leathery as time goes by; quite watery and astringent.
Usually, I tend to dislike wines that are astringent with no fruit, but every once in a while a wine will give you pause, and force you to reevaluate what your likes and dislikes are, which is what I love about wine! Just when you think you have it all figured out, guess again!!!!

Grands bordeaux chez Olivier (Geneva): Couleur la plus claire de la série avec signes de maturité assez marqués. Nez de poivrons verts sans autres nuances...ou presque. En bouche, le vin est léger, presque gouleyant, sans beaucoup de matière. Pas parmi mes préférés...comme (presque) tous les 1997! À terminer.
