I have not tasted this Bordeaux wine in many years and am glad I put it in my off-site cellar where I could not get at it easily. With a very deep purple/black color and muted black fruit nose, the palate was glorious with some cassis and lots of cedar. Although very smooth now there was a touch of added tannins on the finish, just enough to indicate that 3-5 more years would not hurt. I hope I have more.
