A little above what I consider to be the average quality Bordeaux, of a ruby/garnet colour, after 20+ years the tannins are quite polished, no rough edges recognizable, has hints of bell pepper and celery on the nose as well as on the palate, but lacks in body and especially in depth and length. Good balance though.

The nose promised a lot, but the taste just doesn't match. It is a touch peppery with some sour cherry notes and high acidity. The sour persists on the finish and was not the most pleasant for me; however, my wife thought the wine was brilliant (especially for the price) and liked the sour cherry notes.

Monthly tasting club LTC 2019-11: Bordeaux, older and some younger (@ LWH): Very mature bouquet with celery and soy. On the palate chocolate, firm acidity, celery again. Sweetness. Full bodied, but this bottle is too old. No score.

opened 2 hours ahead and then used the aerator: smells of cherries and leather. Typical Bordeaux taste without overwhelming tannins.
