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. — 11 years ago

Just lovely. Expansive black currant nose. medium-bodied but super balance with perfect levels of acidity. Tannins were just slightly astringent - maybe I should have waited a bit longer? Total cliche but this was really an elegant, aristocratic style Ch Margaux. — 12 years ago

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