  Dark red in colour. Plum and dark fruit nose.Resolved oak. The fruit is soft. Not so much front pallet, but the mid and back palate are still there with fresh full fruit. May be at its Apex, but still some years to go if the cork can hold out. My Cork fell through into the bottle after using the Coravin a couple of times.

  Ill second my previous note only add that this bottle had passed beyond apex. Fruit dried out, but felt like that happened some yrs ago. Better luck nxt time.

  A surprise wine served from a magnum. This was clearly Bordeaux, and perfectly Saint Estephe. So correct in form, this was was full of that irony and chocolaty character in a savory and correct way. It was the favorite wine of many casual drinkers at our informal wine adventure dinner with good company. If blind, I would have guessed 1996 Pehlan Segur....Dont hold this, its at the top of its arc in magnums and probably on the slope in 750's...DRINK

  As compared to earlier tastings, this bottle had lost some of the robust fruit that had made this wine so successful in past samplings. Probably bottle variation, but might be time to consume.
