Haut-Médoc, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
1996 probably at the end of its life, really approachable and drinkable. Earthy and a little mineral. Light fruit at the end

Opened up more after an hour. Definitely a Haute Medoc. Chewy and tobacco.

Always interesting to try a haut-medoc from 1996. This one is past its prime. Interesting but like your grandfather is interesting. Slate, dust and faint hints of a bygone fruit.

Light, tart berry with lingering finish.
