  BN - VTS fill Level
  
  Korken zu 85 Prozent mit Wein durchtränkt.
  Sehr Margaux-typisch, bräunlich gereift, Herbst Aromatik, delikat. Mehr sekundär als primär Aromatik. Angenehm. 88 bis 89 Punkte. Trinken: 1993 bis 2025. Höhepunkt: 1995 bis 2014?
  Bald trinken!

  Une bouteille oubliée...
  Jolie étiquette, beau bouchon, coloré aux deux tiers mais intact
  Pnp
  Pourpre opaque tendant au brun
  Beau nez de bordeaux, cerise et fumé (tabac)
  En bouche, un grand équilibre, du fruit, des tanins bien arrondis, une belle longueur... pas une complexité extraordinaire même si l'on perçoit des arômes tertiaires, mais un vrai plaisir et une fort agréable surprise : certes, ce vin est sur le déclin, mais si lentement... Je ne puis que confirmer ce que mes prédécesseurs ont écrit !
  
  Conclusion : ce cru illustre bien la philosophie du bordeaux, selon laquelle les tannins assureront la longévité. Félicitations aux Bordelais en général et au maître de chai en particulier !
  
  Il se garde plusieurs jours bouteille ouverte, mais en s'évaporant peu à peu. À mon avis, inutile de le décanter.

  This wine had been taken off my list by mistake and I discovered a last bottle of it when consolidating the Bordeaux in my cellar. What a gift! I would have drunk it sooner if I'd known it was there, so proceeded to drink it right away. The cork was firmly stuck to the neck and I ended up having to push it on in and decant. The wine was awesome. I'm sure some would consider it over the hill, but I generally prefer them older. It is a classic Médoc, medium-bodied, little tannin, but enough for some structure. Lovely fruit. Delicious. If you have any that was well stored, it should be fine, but drink up.

  Last of 24, opened 60 minutes, perfect level, well travelled cork, this formerly fine wine is now in terminal decline, though not unattractive in its own terms, drink up! G+ (15.5).
