Aromas of raw meat and iron with a touch of integrated va. The flavors pop with plum, currant, cassis and a tight acid core. The medium weight tannins carry this wine nicely and it will probably age gracefully for another 5-8 years.

I was mentally prepared for a wine that had begun its slow descent. Instead, like a United security officer, it immediately punched me in the face, but in a sort of stately, gentlemanly sort of way. The broad-shouldered structure still manages to contain the pungent damp clay, fresh cherry, tea leaf, underbrush, tobacco, cedar, and worcestershire. For a second wine from a fifth growth, this seems to defy its age. Superb.

Out of a large lineup of 2000's, the only Bordeaux that caught my favor.

For me, a little late to drink.

Rock solid classic Bordeaux with a little pyrazine and nice structure, still on the young side.

Pepper taste, more developed, well balanced taste, vegetal and some fruit. 2007 curious grape tasting.
