opens with a nose of graphite, dark fruit, and saddle leather. on the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with blackberry, plum, cassis, and a nice earthiness. the wine has aged nicely and shows that wonderful Bordeaux complexity. probably at or slightly past its peak but drinking nicely. the finish is amazing!

My last bottle, wonderful bouquet, balanced, complex flavors, good fruit with smooth tannins, medium weight, never tasted tired to the last drop, drank with a rib steak, this wine has developed amazingly over the years, I would drink up for remaining bottles, won’t be able to find anymore.

(CHAT HAUT GARDERE) #2; NOSE-worth $25 alone, dirty rocks w/fruit salad, opens up so quick (like time-lapse photography), so aromatic, blend of lilac meeting plum & mango, seductive; TASTE-like going "Back to the Future" in the 90's when great Bordeaux was affordable; new world Bordeaux, mouth flavor is polished, silky smooth & delicious, 93-94 pts in 5-7 yrs., AWESOME, Absolute Steal; WS-91; GV-92+

Amazing. Wise fruit of currants, plum, notes of paper, pepper. Aromatics of saddle, basball glove, hint of cinnamon. Teleportation.
