Not as over the top as many PNs from the region. Quite restrained despite the alcohol content. Worth the search to find it. 325 cases made. — 10 years ago
About as perfect as middle-term, pedigreed Bordeaux gets. None of the overblown fruit problems that characterize the vintage here. Just 100% sexy old-school Bordeaux. Reliable, dependable, and still (kind of) affordable at $325 in a Times Square restaurant. — 12 years ago

Enjoyed last night at Del Frisco's Fort Worth. To prevent a 300 dollar bill, we have always either opened a bottle of white and glasses of red or vice versa. We found this little guy in a 325, which probably wasn't bad considering that I think this would have been even MORE locked up from a 750. This wine did take probably 30 minutes before it was able to be enjoyed. Once it did, it was quite velvety on the front, with a good dark raspberry and classic French terroir on the nose and palate. Herbal notes like clove in the middle, all the while a very soft and red fruit backbone. The wine had a great complexity to it, and nice acidity and tannic balance that went perfectly with steak. Medium + bodied. I think my experience would be better in 2-3 years (from 375), probably 5 years from a 750. Nice little dinner wine. — 9 years ago
