Probably missed the drinking window on this one but so fun to pull the cork on thanksgiving with my dad - his favorite Bordeaux house and the bottle that propelled him (and thus me) on the path of the wine-obsessed. It had a bit of life remaining and actually came back to life after some time in the decanter. — a year ago

Another surprising old find from deep in the cellar! The trope that “the fruit won’t outlast the tannins” in wines like this rarely seems to hold for me. Love the subtlety and balance and tertiary complexity of these wines that no one in their right mind would hold this long - my palate thanks me again for being insane. — 9 months ago
Killer pairing with creamy mushroom pasta too drunk to remember more but very much enjoyed this bottle. Maybe a bit past prime. — 2 years ago
It has held up remarkably well after 17+ years. Silky smooth resolved tannins, rich creamy mouthfeel, syrupy but not cloying with lots of blackberry and vanilla. 15.8% and you can feel it but it's somewhat in balance with the intensity of the fruit and oak. — 9 months ago
