  18 years old and although past it’s prime still held up. Flavours and aromas were muted with. Guessing it would have been at its prime after 8-12 years

  Timide, simple, mince et sans âme.
  En fin de vie ou proche de l'être cette bouteille.
  Mauvais.

  Wow this was good - good amount of fruit on the nose - took a while to coax out - some funk - lots of energy left. Drank w/ a ribeye and was perfect. Plenty of acidity and even decent tannins - long finish. All around quite nice for a somewhat humble wine w/ 17 years of age. It reminds me that Bordeaux shouldn’t be underestimate IMO…

  This a decent good value wine, which is approachable straight from the bottle. I personally think it is in decline and needs to be consumed now.

  Red fruit, tar, leather and smoke -but not that complicated. Probably great in a slightly better vintage. Good with roast herbal chicken. Drink now.
