Here is a grand daddy Bordeaux, both in size and stature that just never fails to disappoint. Black currant, dark fruits, tobacco, vanilla, all rolled seamlessly with the classic minerality of this famous terroir. More impressive than expected for a 2006, age has treated this wine well as the nose was opulent and delicious and tannins well integrated and smooth. Sadly, this double magnum was simply not sufficient to satisfy our thirst... — 10 years ago

Wow. Blew me away. Ripe dark Jammy currant tobacco but really soft tannins. I actually picked up this bottle after someone left in the back of a cab. Win win. Let it decant for at least an hour. Totally different flavor profile — 11 years ago

Sweet little half bottle. Lovely detailed nose from the beginning, but hard and metallic on the pallet out of the gate. Opened and softened considerably. Sweet tannins, nice plump middle. Red currant.. Was good in he glass for 2 hours. Pas mal for a 375. #bordeaux — 10 years ago

1994. Hard to believe it's a 1994. I'm sure I've never tasted a better 1994 from Bordeaux. Currant, cassis, some vegetal notes, leather, barnyard. Beautiful with some power. Doesn't taste to me like it is fading at all. — 11 years ago

Mocha, dusty cocoa, creme de cassis on the nose. Lush big super saturation. Baking spices, plum, black currant, blackberry, vanilla and charred oak on the finish. Hints of mint on this ripe luxurious wine. — 10 years ago

Nose was ripe dark fruit, currant, spices, smoked oak or cedar. Velvet texture with nice dark fruit, licorice, pepper and smoke. Well rounded tannin at the end. Long finish. — 11 years ago

Quite elegant with spice box, red currant. Feels less Napa and more Sonoma. Very clean with a lengthy finish. — 12 years ago
