Had this by the glass at a wine bar today in Margaux... This wine is still young, not even close to the third age... The wine itself was very nice, but nothing exceptional

- Ruby color with medium forming legs and aromas of kerosene and rose and has flavours of rose and cherry with a light/medium body. Leathery texture with a medium finish - Upon opening, nose was filled with kerosene, with very mild floral undertones. I was surprised at initial tasting to find more balance and less chemical than expected. I let this open for three hours of slow consumption, finding it increasingly giving sweet berry and cherry taste. I have moved this wine six times and was pleased by how much it still offered at this stage of life.

1989 Bordeaux (Meinweinkeller.ch): Cassis, like a chilenean cabernet, a little agressive but with a very powerful palate i really liked this, also when going back after the other wines

Mature color, orange rim with considerable bricking. This wine seems to be on the downward slope of its' life - it's still drinking fairly well, but is starting to dry out. Mature secondary aromas and flavors of cedar, leather, and plums. Drink up.
