Classic Bordeaux, dusty, earthy with some years left in it but it was definitely ready to drink.

1996 vintage. Decanted and tasted over the course of two hours. Plenty of sediment. Chunky nose with translated into the early flavor profile but lessened with time. Decent focus and concentration. Some grip but enough dark fruit remaining to mitigate the tannins successfully. Not improving but can hold steady in this range for another 5 or so years. Not super complex yet solid enough for vintage BDX to seek out without compromising the 401k/Roth IRA. 11.9.23.
