2 people found it helpfulNov 7th, 2013Adventures in pulling corks: provenance check. A fantastic 61, still alive, sun sweet, smoky red fruits, modest maderization. One of the best non-1er Cru or Left Bank I have tried. Excellent storage is the reason. Level was top shoulder, excellent for age.

Oct 20th, 2016What a great treat. As of Apr 2015, this wine is still chugging along. Leads with graphite and smoke. The red and black fruits are subtle. The acid is still quite tart. Such a great finish. I am not eating anything with it, but if were I would chose earthy vegetables or light meats. This bottle nneds to be drunk within the next few years.
