Drank this in a blind drinking party, it was the third to last one after 99 Latour, 98 Haut Brion, 99 Mouton and before 99 Margaux and 98 La Mission HB. Very distinguishable taste, light and smooth.

decanted 4 hours beforehand.Smooth and silky and at it's apogee.A well made and balanced wine which will continue to drink well for another 5-10 years.

Opened and decanted an hour+ before serving. Plum and black cherry with cigarbox notes. Good+ weight, very good balance when poured (less harmonious when first tasted pre-decant).
