this is a surprise. Holding up very well for a much maligned right bank vintage. Showing no signs of decline, this is a medium to full bodied merlot that defies the naysayers. Not terribly complex, but this has just enough old world character to let you know you are drinking BDX. I would expect this to be drinking well over the next 5 years.

Continues to over deliver. One more bottle left.

Académie des Cinquante Claret Tasting (Restaurant Rijsel, Amsterdam, NL): Tasted blind. Magnum. Relatively light in style, vegetal nose, aromas are mature and fully developed, retains its freshness and tannic grip. Not really harmonious or elegant. Difficult.
