Well balanced, fresh and elegant upon opening. Hours later some expected mature Bordeaux character comes out. The tannins have certainly softened since having this many years ago. I’d say this is hitting a good drinking window.

Dec 28th, 2014Amazing Pauillac Bordeaux from an amazing year! Beautiful fruit, cherry, Camembert on the front, leather and new tobacco in the mid and finishes strong with cassis and candied fruit. Says it’s past its prime, but I have to disagree - no brown edge / oxidation and still holds like a good aged Bordeaux should!
