Picked up 2 bottles of this old mature Bordeaux in a wine shop years ago for next to nothing. The first bottle I had 4-5yrs ago wasn’t that great but given the ps I wasn’t complaining.
Had forgotten I had this second bottle tough and found it the other day. Went in with low expectations (which helped) and was pleasantly surprised. The small pinot glass really helped the wine keep its complex aromas concentrated and serving it slightly chilled accentuated the acidity in a good way giving the wine a bit of freshness on the palate as well. Bruised plums and cassis notes combined with a it of licorice and tobacco. A fun little nightcap of a wine!
