  This is at the end - drink 'em up if you have any. Pleasant enough wine with smoke and cigar, subtle fruit. Becoming a bit too acidic.

  Very nice delicate, earthy and floral nose. Dried red fruit on the palette but somewhat muted. Leather and tobacco notes on the finish. Not bad for 18 years old - but definitely drink now!

  Bricking. decanted 1/2 hour before dinner. Very much on the back end of its life. Mature right bank Bord. sherry, earth, leather with min. fruit. Tannins resolved. Interesting, while not offensive, it was not as enjoyable as one would have wanted either. Maybe a better choice to have drank upon purchase?

  Bricking and oxidation is apparent, but the structure of this bottle held up surprisingly well. Subtleties of black fruit remain, but the nose of cedar, horse blanket, and sherry remain. Palate reflects a bit of leathery notes while confirming perceptions from the nose. Acid is medium while tannins have softened to medium levels. Mature and elegant now, don't wait on this one any more. Still quite enjoyable if the bottle integrity holds up!
