Really enjoyed this left bank Bordeaux. Light and smooth. The nose had hints of oak and deep red fruit. Not too heavy tannins. Upon first sip, it was light with majority of flavor being plum. After a while, the oakiness stood out and it was very nice. Sediment present. — 2 months ago

Wow I don’t drink a lot of Bordeaux but this was for a very special birthday and a big bottle seems in order ... it lived up to all expectations ... filled with many savory aromas in flavors like mushrooms, beef jerky, soy sauce but then also the trademark graphite/pencil lead quality. At 19 still seemed to have some years left to go before peaking!
