  High fill and cork in good condition. Dusty dark berries and a typical St Estephe spiciness on the nose. Cloves, pepper, sage, thyme and subtle tertiary flavours such as cedar. On the palate, the wine is beautifully balanced with well-integrated tannins. Slender to medium body. The wine was present immediately after opening and developed nicely over 1 to 1.5 hours in the glass. After two hours, it slowly faded. Classic mature old school Bordeaux. Excellent

  Académie des Cinquante Tasting and Dinner with the Académie du Vin de Bordeaux (Restaurant Entrepot, Amsterdam, NL): Magnum. Youthful, mature, lively, delicate aromas and flavours, oyster shell nose, gentle spice, gentle tannins, fresh and with a lovely evolution. A wonderful, mature Saint-Estèphe.

  Opened to serve with chukar birds. Opened 2 hours before dinner. While past its prime, this was still a lovely, if soft, wine. Little to no tannins but smooth with some structured depth of taste. Wish we had opened a few years back but still enjoyable.

  Der Wein ist seit dem letzten Mal nicht schlechter, eher besser geworden! Insgesamt sanft und rund in Nase und Mund; typisch klassischer Bordeaux mit einer Miscung aus Moder/ Stallgeruch und etwas dunklem Früchten.

  A respectable St. Estephe still holding up... likely as good as it will be!
