  Popped and poured in Baker & Cook cafe. Bottle was in excellent condition. Little information found online concerning this wine. Was truly surprised at how this wine performed. This is a good example of how aged Bordeaux should taste like. Clear, star bright, medium concentration, rubhy red. Charming perfumed fruity nose at the start. Very fine and elegant on the palate, showing creamy red fruits like cherries, strawberries and cranberries. Silky smooth, delicate intensity, good medium+ acidity (my pal said it was high), medium bodied. Underlying stony minerals. Hints of tobacco, milk chocolate and truffle on the finish. Slightly gripping tannins still present. Oak well integrated. No sediments. There's a Pinot Noir quality to it. This bottle was so easy to drink, we vanquished it in less than an hour. I think I hit jackpot, having procured 6 bottles! This vibrant wine is very alive and far better than the 1985 that I popped last week, which was dying. My rating: 93/100
