My friend opened a bottle of this wine the other day at a wine shop. He had been purchasing some wines and asking my wife and I for some advice, and in the end he opened up some bottles he bought for immediate tasting, including this 20 year old claret. Not being one of the better known stars of the Margaux appellation, this aged Bordeaux was really charming that day.
This wine showed a dark ruby rim encircling dark core, and a sweet fruity acid plummy nose wafted from the bottle. The palate was sweet slightly tannic and fruity palate, going onto a soft acid tannic backbone giving good support. Nice now and still capable of giving much pleasure for some years yet.
