87 - generally enjoyable to nothing special at this point. perhaps it had more going on years ago but seems more like one that never really had it vs one that had it and lost it...

Nice wine. Leather, cassis, earth, pencil shavings, and cherry on the nose. Nice stone characteristics. I like this wine, fully mature and enjoyable. Very dry, and a bit acidic for my taste. Probably was better with less air. A little thin and short on the midpalate, not as much fruit as one would hope for. For the money, an enjoyable bottle. Nothing earth shattering, but a solid effort from a great vintage.

Duft: Blyant, fat, blåbær. Smak: Moden, bra balanse. Ble smakt mot 4 årganger Domaine de Chevalier og fremsto naturlig nok som en lettere og noe enklere vin enn disse.

Recognizable Bordeaux on the nose: cassis, cedar, spices. Firm backbone but is somewhat a bit lightweight on the palate. Went well with the meat, pretty good - nothing too impressive. I will try to forget that I have one more bottle and see what happens in a couple of years.
