old soul right bank bordeaux - definitely towards the tertiary flavors but very elegant. the fruits are baked and rhubarb’ed and there is a really nice plum note on a long and distinguished finish. opens up nicely after an hour of air. would open this now.

1996 Bordeaux (St Emilion Grand Cru), past it’s prime. Muted fruit profile, but lots of black plum (heavy merlot), wood, vanilla, tobacco, mushroom, stewed black fruit, hints of spice, pronounced tannins.

Not at the peak anymore… solid wood, plenty of tannins and a beautiful nettle nut finish.

Absolutely tasty! Light body, brick color on the edges. Super jammy and extremely savory with a bit of pepper. Delicious

Another Mag! Good age but at its end, plum and cedar and a little anise.
