Saint Guirons Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend

Showed well out of Magnum. Classic aged claret with tobacco, dried espresso and flowers. Good concentration still, but feel that would only be because from magnum. A 750ml a couple of years ago was more advanced than this, as on would expect

Very nice wine though still closed and needing time~maybe 5 to 10 years. The tightness made it lass interesting as a pairing wine with the game ( wild Canadian pigeon and duck) we enjoyed with it. Still the underlying wine is very well made and should show well with time.

Earthy, mineral, mature dark fruits, drinking beautifully tonight, balanced, medium-long finish, terrific 1986 Bordeaux!!

Unfortunately corked.

Au nez c'est très complexe avec des fruits noirs, du cacao. En couche un superbe équilibre beaucoup de finesse des arômes de réglisse des épices. Plus beau vin de noël 2019

Perfect end to Premiere Napa Valley is a pre 1990-Bordeaux Dinner to re-calibrate from all the barrel samples.

The elegance of a magnum with age.

Slightly corked

Good, not great.

Was crushed by the other 86 I pulled so tough to love it. This was still a good wine. Tobacco, Leather, earthy notes and faint dark fruit. Definitely a good wine. I'd pair with hearty lamb.
