1995- I drank this in Denmark with my family (2015). Very smooth.

2003. Solid fill. Excellent cork. Decanted and throwing a sh*t-ton of sed. Big (but desirable) funk on the initial decant nose. Tasted after 1.5 hours and 2.5 hours open. Light medium/medium body. Dirty animal. A little brett but unusual, and fleeting, richness in the upper front gums with a touch of mint and watercress waving hello. Then, it rapidly got down to brass tacks. Dried earth, porcini mushroom and cassis. Likely another 4-5 years in this realm before switching things up.

Perfectly aged bottle but was a little disappointed by its lack of complexity

Some of the best values/hidden gems in my cellar comes from fine producers in less than perfect vintages. 97’s were definitely underrated. This wine is perfectly mature and in fine shape. Oaky for sure and fun to drink
