My first time with this vintage, and frankly, due to the reputation of the vintage in the Right Bank, I was not expecting much. But I was more than pleasantly surprised. The plummy fruit was still there, the wine had depth of flavor, loads of truffle, cocoa, wet earth and dark cherries. Soft, supple and polished, this has real charm. While it is going to be impossible to find, I imagine it will sell for a song if you can purchase any bottles with provenance.

Good color for age. Smells bad, bottle stink, almost like gargage, rotting fruit, nearly offputting. Flavors save the day, dark dried fruits, good spoce nice length, almost sweet. Wine has very nice palate, with offutting nose.
