Complex, satisfying margaux nose and still plenty of punch on the palate to make this is a wonderful drinker. This bottle was in excellent condition and if properly stored I see no reason to rush but also no reason to wait.

Good colour , even at the rim. Sadly nothing else positive about it. Tastes medicinal - like this is going to do you good but is going to be horrible. Yep stale wooden barrels , moribund fruit. I won't start on the more negative aspects. If you have any of this I would strongly recommend moving it on.

Everything an older Bordeaux should be. A touch of dust on the nose with lite fruit flavors that have completely folded into the tannins. A long thin finish. Great wine.

At the end of its life. A few florals left over, albeit a very few. Also some minor tertiary notes of leather and truffle, but again, not much.
Bottle was purchased at auction, so provenence was unknown.

Leathery and juicy, not a blockbuster, but liked it a lot.
