Really impressive showing for this Bordeaux. Purple in color, opaque and bright. The nose is great with cassis, cigar box, graphite and slight earthiness. Full bodied. Light tannins. Great balance. On the palate, this is complex and deep. Layers of cassis, tobacco and earthiness. Long finish. This is delicious and contemplative on its own but would also be great with a hearty meal such as Prime Rib or a Vegetable Tagine. It still should have another ten to fifteen years left.
