  Bouchon légèrement entamé.
  Robe : une légère couleur brune apparait sur le disque.
  Nez : Sur le tabac blond, l'humus, les champignons... Très bien
  En bouche : les tanins sont fondus, le vin emplit bien la bouche. On a une bonne persistance aromatique.
  Malheureusement c'était la dernière.
  Excellent

  Part of a 2020-1995 Verticale. Remarkable for a very challenging year. Silky and seducing, with port sweetness, tobacco, roast aromas and sweet spices. Some dilution in the finish shedding light on the difficult circumstances under which the wine was borne in a stormy year.

  The last of a 6 pack might be my favorite. Rosey garnet color. Typical Sociando nose that’s filled with black and red fruit, swamp and licorice. Bold and upfront. The palate is mature, slightly rustic and fun. A chunky Bordeaux without much finesse - but one that brings much pleasure. Not going to get any better. (90)

  Clearly in its twilight years but nonetheless very pleasant. Showed a beautiful evolution in the decanter and drank very gracefully, albeit a bit past its peak.
