This bottle might be ever so slightly corked but it drinks nicely. Lots of black currant fruit character, some graphite and faint vegetal notes, great acid and still plenty of cedar-y tannin. Wish I had another bottle to compare...

In perfect drinking condition, excellent. Forest floor, iron, the smell of a cracked cacao bar, savory spice and believe it or not a tad of blue cheese. Good palate intensity that is precise and controlled, medium to fine tannins caress the haunting dried fruit and savory long and fresh finish. #bluesheeseinmywinearoma #stestephe #lafonrochet

Looking superb at 22 years. Beautiful weight and structure. Good complexity. Lovely fruit here with silky tannin
