  One full 12 bottle case found in a cellar of one of my customers, gave me a bottle for a try, so pnp,
  harsh black fruit smell, earthy as earthy can be,
  started quite open and delicate, good fresh black fruit here still, all kinds of earthy tones, underbrush, some mineral whiff,
  but with more aeration changing to a more and more unpleasant metallic showing while swallowing,
  so if you have on of these still, drink up without any decant, at first 88, later a very friendly

  Corked. Damn. Seems like there could've been a solid wine underneath the TCA.

  From 750ml, classic Bdx nose of crushed rocks, red berry fruit and some underbrush. Tons of fruit left, maybe a touch of brett on the palate.

  My impression was based on my 5L which I got from JJB direct Chateau at a stupid price. I anticipated enjoying it with a lot of blue cheese, truffle infused gouda, etc based on the other review's but the large format clearly held up. Truthfully it was a really nice aged Bordeaux. I tend to like my wines with a bit more fruit left than the dried cranberry, musty, dampy, earthy, bacony stuff left over and to my surprise there was still a solid amount of fruit (plum, bruised raspberry, dated current) to back it all up and stand with it. Though I'm sure the 750's and mag's are quite tired, I'm glad my preconceived notions were snuffed. 10 people finished it to the last sandy, gritty drop.
