See previous entries. What stood out this time was the very powerful perfume on the nose. Wow. Just permeated everwhere when pouring into the decanter and then from decanter to glasses. Such a big wine feel from nose to long palate. Impressive.

3hour decant served at 18c . Everything was perfect re service & storage BUT I forgot the comments from SHRIKE. I should have waited about 5 more years which I shall for the next one. Lovely nose lots of typical Pauillac flavours going on. Better after an hour at the end just too soon to get the very best from it I suspect just as SHRIKE told me. I have learnt my lesson but still a positive experience to taste along the journey. There is much more to come

Seemingly mature, with tobacco and a bit of brown sugar on the nose. Fine palate, tannins mostly integrated and again with tertiary notes. Has the typical blend of cedar, tobacco and a bit of mint. Comes across as rather stately and four square— but developed and seemingly mature at this juncture lacking some energy on the palate. Based on recent tastings, I think this will drink before the ‘05 or ‘08. Doesn't seem to have the depth or complexity of the best years.

Bought for Christmas holidays and it delivers!! Fully mature and smooth as silk while being full bodied. A mix of red fruits perfectly balanced from earthy and leather. Long finish
