88/100. Looks like at the end of a fairly good cuvee from the Comtesse.

Classic Pauillac with plums, cassis, graphite, cedar, leather, dried flowers, underbrush. Smooth, decent acidity, polished tannins.

Bordeaux aromas and like opening the wine game box 😋
Still fresh colour and some tobacco and pencil shavings on palate.
Good claret that will improve further

Medium ruby core, garnet rim . More leafy and crunchy cassis, slightly foursquare , cooler slightly mint touches . Crunchy dark fruits on the palate , more tobacco , cedar , grafite notes , fills out on the palate pretty well. Good refreshing acidity , moderate quite fine tannins, slight green notes on the ok length . Good to drink now and probably won’t improve very much , now and over the next 10 years.

It’s best days we’re behind it, unfortunately.
