Enjoyed on a train ride home from NYC. Opens up immediately to a bouquet of smoky cigars and old leather. Palate still holds texture and tannins still have some grip. Totally pleasurable to drink now

What a great buy this has been since release. Much better than more famous properties costing far more than this modest producer. Dark color. Great aromatics. Full palate.

Solid red color too the rim, mostly dried redfruits with some developing mushroom/soy undertones, tannins are largely resolved with a medium-long finish, shows just a bit of the 1986 tannic/dry notes, at or very near peak, lovely older Bordeaux!

FLN — Very fine Bordeaux, but not quite the depth and complexity of the two 2d growths, drinking very well now in that tight, somewhat tannic, Sociando Mallet style.

Hosted my wine group (SJOS) and this was part of my Cab-ish theme tasting. Very nice and finally got around to drinking this $16.99 wine, should have bought more.

Definitely seems a lot more youthful@than the 1982, red fruit is still pretty youthful, firm, but not bitter, structure, some oak shows in the medium-long to long finish, better than the 1982, this may last forever!! First bottle out of an unopened case purchased on futures, this should outlast me!!
