  22nd of 24, opened an hour then splash decanted, worked cork, very top shoulder, more funk and less delineation than last bottle in December 2018 with a slight sense of fade to fruit, well made as ever, but no upside, equally no rush. VG+ (16.5).

  PnP
  Niveau bas, bouchon entièrement rougi, s'effritant (voir photo)
  J'attendais de grandes joies de ce vin hautement recommandé pour sa garde, une bouteille amoureusement conservée en cave d'appartement sous hygrométrie contrôlée.
  Hélas, comme signalé par Kfinsrud, le bouchon très insuffisant a laissé le vin sortir et l'air entrer.
  Néanmoins buvable, sans plus. Peu de choses au nez; en bouche un bordeaux à 10 euros, rond, avec quelques réminiscences tanniques.
  Très déçu.
  Une remarque envoyée sur le site internet du producteur n'a amené aucune réponse.

  Side by side with the 1983. More richness, concentration and power here, as you'd expect, with lovely tobacco, bell pepper and cedar complexity. Long, lively finish. At peak.

  PNP- A touch of funk that disapated quickly. Some secondary notes of cigar box and leather. The wine smells important, like a study with leather bound books and rich mahogany. Fruit is still hanging around, wondeful acidity and balanced tannins coupled with a medium finish of baker’s chocolate. Sociando consistently over performs imho and is one of the best values in Bordeaux.
