  Big pleasure to drink. Needs about an hour to evolve. Next to the classic bdx right bank fragrants its the greenish notes that adds a lot of freshness. Tanins are completley resolved, nice structure and good tension on the palate. Long finish. Very good pqr.

  What a great mature Pomerol. Full nose of classic matured Merlot. Plum, forrest, mushroom and still a nice Backbone. Not a great wine, but a real pleasure to enjoy solo or with Rib-Eye with Béarnaise and toasted bread. More it doesnt Need to be very happy

  Consumed at Yakiyan with Claire 2RB. Taste has largely faded. Was expering more, but still very good to drink.

  The YPD on this was unreal. That's yum per dollar. This was such a pleasant smooth aged right bank doing everything right. Definitely in its prime, earth and stable flavors there, but still some light red fruit, strawberry and raspberry doing their thang. 1998 right banks are up their with 2001 german riesling and 2010 Barolo for me as the best combos out there.

  Unfortunately, my last bottle of this lovely wine is mildly corked.
