Aromas of earth, moss, old wood and a glint of red fruit. The palate is soft and mellow, still carrying some freshness and a touch of rounded, dusty tannin on the finish. This is in fine form for an inexpensive old Bordeaux, still going strong (although I personally would drink up sooner rather than later). (JH 02/10/2025)
