A nice surprise from last night. Ah, to remember back to when I could buy decent 4th or 5th growths for less than $30. I bought a single bottle of this at release merely to check this estate's name off the list of the Medoc's classified growths I've tried. Now I wish I had bought a few more.

Wow, this was much better than expected. Nice nose, medium bodied, full across the palate, long finish. Developed nicely over an hour in the glass. This drinks well now, situated nicely between youthful power and mature subtleties. I'll have to see if more is available at a fair price. Wish I had bought more back on futures. (93 pts.)
