A restauranteur friend of mine served me this blind, and I guessed a mature left bank Bordeaux from the 1980s. What a wine and what value but nearly impossible to find now. 94+

Having tasted this wine a few years before I must say, that it has evolved very positively since then. The color is red with just a hint of an orange rim. In the nose I smell tobacco, cigar box, and a nice fruity mix of ripe and mature berries. Taste is fantastic fruity with a firm tannic backbone. Taste continues in a long and pleasent aftertaste. The wine is very good right now, and I expect it to continue to be drinkable for many years on. A great wine!

Actually it´s a Don Melchior d;). What a beauty. BX look alike. Peaking right know. Great depth and balance with a long smooth finish. Only Negative, it´s the last bottle.

This wine is unfiltered, so plan on decanting. Also, still needs decanting to let the wine breath and open up. Soft tannins, black currant, slightly mineral.
