Had an old 1985 and it was amazing with a French recipe for duck and olives! One of the best meals ever. Had to have it upright for a while cause of the sediment, then decanted for 25 minutes before drinking. So good! The cork in mine was old and fell apart three times while trying to open it but thankfully I managed to keep any cork bits for getting in the actual wine, but if you have a old bottle be careful.

Nose: elegant tobacco. Menthol.
Palate: lovely blackberry fruit. Very crisp and energetic. Some oak. Should integrate.

Выпито в Грушевке 05.11.17. Старое, выдержанное бордо. Декантировал 40 минут- не хватило. Думаю, его нужно было открывать лет 5 назад , на пике зрелости.

Lovely wine with young cherry notes and depth. Not a heavyweight.

Very good, but if your taste is not for minerally bordeux, you won't enjoy it. Not a good "intro" /general use wine imo.

Right bank Bordeaux! Picked it up in Saint Emilion with wife and daughters. A dream come true last summer. Iron, mineral. Very smooth and balanced. Hints of dark fruit and strong back bone. Not enough Cab sauv for a strong finish.
