  Holding nicely at the moment, with decaying earth, leather, minerals; salted caramel, strawberries in balsamic vinegar. There’s nothing overtly fruity, but this is enjoyable nonetheless. Sophisticated.

  Very fresh and exciting classical nose - menthol, forest floor, wet stones, tobacco...beautiful! But that it was! The palate can't fulfill the promise. Even after 4 hours no evolution on the green impression - drying tannins, nearly no fruit, no structure and the tertiary notes are in the background. No pressure nor length. Fading? It was for sure no off bottle! Pts: nose 92, palate 87)

  A very fine wine. I was told this is a typical Pauillac, so I should watch out for more ;-)
  Light and elegant, cassis, graphite, leather and much more. (WL)

  What’s better than a bottle you more or less ignored, because you had others you thought should be drunk next? This is in a perfect place, secondaries fully present, garnering “wow” from my wife and friends who were lucky enough to share with me. I cannot see it getting better. Quintessential pauillac

  Boston Wine & Poker, Lincoln, Mass.: Very tannic, with a prickly quality, and a strong metallic edge. If this hasn't relaxed at all in 29 years, I am not sure that it ever will.
