Although it’s hard to leave the 15 BDX vintages, you have to eventually move on. This is a nice Left bank, 55% cab, and jumps right out of the bottle.

Pencil lead and cassis, still opening. For certain, Saint Julien style. Medium length finish.
Ullage was mid shoulder.

1999 vintage. Fully resolved, very smooth and pleasant black fruit. Not very complex. Would drink soon if you have this vintage.

Scent almost like prune and leather
Tannins are noticeable immediately, but are not overpowering. Medium body, dry with notes of dried fruit and grape peel
