Earthy, mineral, autumnal red berry, currant and cherry fruit with a sweet smokiness. Palate is nicely inter grated, good acidity and soft tannins push through some very lovely red fruit, bright, not showing it's age.

Great recommendation from the guy at the local wine shop.
45+ minute decant. Dark red color. Cigars, ash, dark red fruit, and some cedar on the nose. Medium plus depth and integrated finish. Paired nicely with burgers.

Phenomenal. Drinking perfectly after twenty-one years. Worth the wait.

From 3L. Decanted 3 hrs and the firm tannins really softened up. Great wine with a touch of herbaceousness, dark fruit, pencil and tobacco

Drinking well. Tannins are all smoothed out.

Jun 4th, 2017(17.5/20) Красивый, зрелый насыщенный аромат с тонами сухих красных и чёрных ягод, гвоздики, шоколада и подлеска. Свежая кислотность и гладкие, но чуть суховатые танины. Великолепная насыщенность во вкусе. Отличное зрелое бордо!

The last, and best, of my stash. Just a little fuller and broader across the palate compared to the one drunk in January this year. Absolutely a point.

Really nice bottle at the perfect age. Wonderful balance of both aromas and structure. On the nose immediate blackberry, green pepper, and baking spices. On the palate, more earthy and leathery in combination with the subtle fruit still remaining. Acids and tannins well resolved. Great accompaniment to our beef burgundy. As expected, plenty of sediment, so decant or pour carefully.
