Purchased at local retail for $49, which, to be honest, was a steal. Fully mature classic Médoc. Gave it about 4-5 hours of air. Very enjoyable but it will not improve further. Drink now and enjoy.

From magnum. Decanted for about 60 min but this started with fairly grippy tannins before getting rounder with more air. Fairly dark garnet to a thin translucent rim. The Merlot is coming through very clearly with notes of plum and dark fruit. Short to medium finish. Solid 2000 which will for sure last another 10 years, even though I liked the 83 recently better.

A very pleasant surprise. Stood upright for a couple of weeks. Cork out for 5 hrs., decant 1 hr. Dark color, no bricking. Nose of plum, leather, chocolate, black currant. Well balanced on the palate, with very good length.
Wish I had more!

Got a glass here now and decanted for 2 hours. The color is still youthful and the nose is lightly floral. The wine swirls on the palate with blac cherry, some earth and a tinge of mocha. The finish is short and very satisfying. It’s in a great place now! Let it open and breathe and bring it to dinner. I am very impressed and happy this went well

Drinking well. Good fruit and acid with integrated but present tannins. Ripe, dusty cherries. Chalk. Orange peel.
