6/25 - don’t have good notes, but I remember this being soft and complex and very earthy. Still had good structure. Fruit had somewhat faded. Truly a grand old Bordeaux. 90

When tasting a First Growth you expect the exceptional. Well the exceptional resides in this bottle. Aromas of worn saddle leather, cedar, tobacco jump from the glass after a gentle swirl. Flavors of many dark berries- blackberry, currants, elderberry; tannins are so integrated and softened to be beyond pleasant. We could talk about a finish but it is still lingering some 2 minutes later. Wow!; is the best description. This is why we purchase First Growth Bordeaux and age it to perfection. YUM!
