  Fully mature, this is elegant, silky, medium bodied and quite easy to drink. The secondary, truffle, smoke, licorice, tobacco and fresh, earthy, red fruits are at peak, or just slightly past its high point today.

  A classic SE BDX, in the window if not slightly past, red ruby, silky tannins, and a slick nose.
  Drink now or with in a few years..

  A very good wine, but not offering the complexity you'd want or the length. By now means at the end of its time. So drink or hold.
  Having written this I went and looked at last note, written recently. So similar impression except I did come away thinking it could go for a while since this one was not well into secondaries. That said, not sure it's got what it needs to handle that gracefully

  Solid aged Bordeaux. Give it an hour to come together.

  Some bricking, very smoothly integrated, not the most complex or interesting of wines, but drinking very nicely at this point. Probably at its peak.
