Needs 2 hours. Lovely balance and softness. Not at the Lalande level but really nice. Classic in style. Moderate finish. — 8 years ago
You smell this and you know it's OLD. Such a beautiful nose that you can spend all day smelling. A very nice, lasting finish. Tar, leather, and plum. — 8 years ago

Tasted blind. Reddish tawny, almost opaque. Big shoulders in the nose. Complex. Notes of briary brush, raspberry, hickory, pepper and tobacco leaf. Mellow in the mouth, especially when compared to the big nose. Sweeter fruit finish. Took some deductive time with my guess... 82 Margaux which freaked out my friend who brought the bottle. This is in a good place, not sure if it will improve with more age. But it’s in no danger of declining anytime soon. — 5 years ago
Animal flavor. Leather. Still elegant and acidic. But when opening, cork stripped to inside of bottle. That means. 1982 @, Kai - JH, 190406-190601 — 6 years ago
For a Haut Medoc grand cru I was delighted to drink this 35 year old gem. Smokey cedar nose and rich tobacco cassis flavors with delicate tannins this wine has enormous fruit and lasting power. — 8 years ago

Initially pretty closed, cedar and some woody (oak) notes, fruit is mature, tannic structure has receded, medium-long finish, very good if a tad rustic, but lacks the depth of better classified growths. — 5 years ago
