Magnum. Couleur grenat orangé, nez immédiat sur des arômes de cuir, de tabac, de roses séchées. En bouche, le vin est de constitution moyenne, souple, peu complexe et avec beaucoup d’acidité. Légère déception, peut-être due à ce magnum seulement.

Popped and poured. Late in the night and not a ton of notes. This stuck out vs the 90 as it was bigger and had more complexity and obviously a younger wine. Dark berries, leather and hints of sweetness on the palate. Very enjoyable.

Really nice showing tonight. Decanted about 2 hours. Loads of leather, saddle, ash and spices. Amazing perfume on this wine. Some slight rim variation and a slightly lighter red color with hints of brownish but the juice was fantastic. Held up well throughout the night. Great bottle.

This bottle seemed more advanced than a recent one. Some sediment in the wine but noting major. Still, this is really good juice esp for the price (I paid $50). At 20 years this showing nice leather, saddle, kirsch. Medium body, refined and elegant.

Leather, dried cherries, tannins - this is very good esp considering the price and age. Quite impressed with this. Initially tasted more like a Barolo vs Barby. But, not quite the depth of a Barolo. The finish just not quite as long and mid palate also not quite as big. Having said that this is a great wine for $50 and I would say these have a long life ahead in this plateau. Popped and poured and this was singing right out of the bottle.
