Still tasting very well indeed. Slightly funky but a very enjoyable bottle. Certainly not for keeping, but it is 23 years old after all. (Drunk with Domaine de C 98 - a splendid comparison)

Earthy, with a distinctive truffle, tobacco and olive drenched nose, the rustically styled wine showed much younger than its true age. Still, this is a not a wine I'd hold for further development.

This was the first in a night of tasting 94-98 vintage Bordeaux's. It was decanted for 2 hours and was an incredible start down the Bordeax road for the evening. While not stellar in any one respect, it gave its best effort to represnt the varietal and did not disappoint. IMHO, drink now as it is starting to decline in its drining window.

I believe this is the last bottle from a case that showed mixed results. Nice to end on a good note. Deep yet mature color that hints to the richness of the wine. Lovely berry nose with a mild scent of wood. Rich, full and voluptuous fruit. Perfectly mature. Really a very good wine that delivers great QPR. (17)
