A great vintage perfectly preserved (in magnum.) Classic St-N-de-B aromas of blackcurrant leaf and tobacco. Still some juicy fruit,little if any tannin... though really it's evolved into a seamless whole, and it seems pointless to try to pick apart constituent elements. From the exciting wine list at Hostellerie de la Bouriane in Gordoun. At 70e for a magnum, extremely good value: the kind of bottle wine-lovers dream of finding in a French country restaurant. Cork. 12%.

Gorgeous nose with just the right amount of leather and spices. Very smooth palate with well integrated tannins! Tasted over 3 days with very no real sign of decline.

Revealed full potential after 2 hours opening. Nose of wet leaves, tobacco leaf, green bell peper. Great finesse and elegance.

milky brown, orange, in the color. decay, brett, soil, earth, on the nose. soy, dried fruit, oak, hint of spice, on the palate.
