Terrible pic, great wine. Structured, dense and chewy, with ample tannins that are perfectly ripe and help to prolong the flavor. Still young and burly, with a flavor profile that veers towards young and savory - coffee, bitter chocolate, iron, graphite. There's a beautiful core of sweet cherry underneath - high toned, almost sappy - needs time. Great winemaking - balance of sweet and savory, dry but not astringent, fresh and lively but serious as well. Old school styled and delicious.

Enjoyed this one with my parents. Nice Bordeaux that shows herb notes with a bit of anise. Silky smooth mouthfeel. I bet this could improve with more time in bottle.

This is a very decent and already drinkable classic bottle of BDX. Lovely nose off dark fruit and a very silky mouthfeel.
