Very classic Bordeaux, likely at peak. Barnyard on the nose - somewhat funky. Red fruit and cherry tomatoes on the front palate. Some grilled pepper and vanilla notes mid palate. Ashy, resolved tannins with a long savory finish, balanced by acidity. Very pleasant, especially with food.

Vin avec une évolution moyenne, le tertiaire est parmis nous. Les senteurs de l’automne, champignons, gibier, vanille. Une certaine puissance et un potentiel encore pour quelques années. Vin bon.

Deep dark center, dark red rim with modest signs of age. Funky and a little smokey, raspberry and plums. Smooth, a touch of sweetness, cassis and raspberries, some slightly rough wood, alcohol in check (13%), creamy fruit-driven finish with some greenness. Very good mature Pauillac, a few edges but overall good and a great value at $20.

Nose: Pure cassis, graphite and pencil shavings, flowery damp earth. Palate: Tart red currents, light cranberry, chalky minerality, sweet leather, light and polished tannins, some bitter wood grain on the finish.

Less enjoyable than the previous bottle. A bit hard on the finish, with muddled fruit. Bad bottle (or was the previous a good bottle)?
