This is a 15 years old Pauillac. It took one hour to open up. Aromas of old leather, tobacco and coffee . Dark red and smooth at taste . A pleasant Pauillac which pair with strong cheese and food.

Still drinking very young but with great balance and freshness. Tons of tightly woven fruit, ripe tannins and early stage tertiary notes. This will be very good in 5 years and keep for a long time.

Substantially improved or just a better bottle compared to 6 months and a year ago. Comes into its own and drank well over the course of dinner and for a few hours after that. This was really complete, well integrated and enjoyable. Didn't decant this one which may have helped.

Hovering around that 93-94 pts range at current age, a really nice wine. Benefited from about 30 minutes in the glass and gained a lot more nuance with air. Great mix of power and finesse. Complimented the course (Ryuzu in Roppongi) very well and was best priced option on their wine list (impressive list).

The wine looks crimson colored. The legs are medium. There is moderate sediment in the bottle.
