As my previous review I've held these to long. Though this bottle did still have some hardy forest fruits and was very smooth. A pleasant surprise, especially from a lesser Boudreaux Producer that you wouldn't expect to last this long.

One of the most unpleasant wines drunk this year. Notes of forest fruits and redcurrant on the nose, then a mouthful of bitter tannins and fading, unripe fruit. There was a seam of potentially rich blackberry mid-palate, which scored it some points, but as the evening wore on, so the finish became increasingly metallic. It's not hard to imagine what this could have been had it been better made, but this was a poorly crafted wine which was impossible to enjoy. Give any remaining bottles to your in-laws.

Traditional Margaux, no serious fruits left and a bit short in length - held to long? Went well with a Christmas Rib of Beef.
