So excited to drink this. Leathery, pipe tobacco on the nose. Forrest floor, old attic mildew, dusty, decomposing musty leaves. Stringent. Tastes like a old leather bound book you found at your grandparents and were like, “what’s that?” and pulled it from its shelf and instead got a face full of dust. But you love it. I love this. It’s everything I love about an old Bordeaux— pure decomposed earth. I would love to pet a lovely, giant Scottish Deerhound while drinking this— a dog as regal and mythical as this wine.

Birth year wine for my birthday. This bottle may out live me. Pencil shavings, dark berries, forest floor. A bit of bricking but no sign of fading, so much structure still. Not usually a bordeaux drinker but this is brilliant stuff.

Oh my word this is a gem. Displaying beautiful tertiary flavors of mushroom, first floor, but still some dark berries on the palate. Could let this one age a little further but drinking great now.
