Tasted at the Left Bank Bordeaux tasting at the home of FreeTheGrapes 1/19/2005.

I do not have any notes on how long this was decanted, but I remember it was not very long. It is currently available on wine searcher as low as $65.

This wine was the darkest I color of the flight. Very well balanced, the somewhat reticent nose showed red berries and some spices. On the palate, this was a medium bodied wine, showing more berries and cherry, with a short to medium length finish from which the tannins have all but disappeared.

Very enjoyable at 86 points, but I expect it may have been better a few years ago. I would drink this wine sooner than later, though it may not fall off a cliff.
