  Purchased on release and stored perfectly ever since. This really benefitted from a 2+ hour decant and then showed luscious dark berry fruit with a velvety texture and good acidity underneath. Layered with notes of dark chocolate and minerals. Lively and still youthful although showing maturity in the flavor profile. A fine wine for sure but it's a long way from a good price/quality ratio and I would prefer numerous Pomerols at much lower price points.

  Excellent Merlot. Fantastic fruit, smooth and full. Needs at least 1hr decant. Think this will improve over next 2-5 yra and drink over 5-10

  curious. you'd think with nearly two decades of age, it would be near or fully peaking and well hitting its stride. ...this is a beast. dark, saturated, weighty. nose suggests it would have had maybe nine yrs on its side, not nineteen. dark berry fruit, a slight sour cherry aroma. with air, it picks up some damp earthy notes. the palate is massive and monolithic, some good acidic snap, again with the sour cherry, smooth luxurious texture, but even with 4 hrs slow ox, gripping tannin on the back end. an attractive bitter almond flavour holds on the finish. best with a good cheese or a hearty protein.

  Salon Focofi Paris walkabout and dinner, so no detailed tasting notes. From DMG. Rich, dark, ripe, a bit too vulgar for me.
