This is a very good wine, but not showing its best yet. This was enjoyed with steak at a restaurant (Aureole) that had an interesting plexiglass wine storage tower, with cables on each side, and a winch (I suppose that is spelled with an "i", not an "e") that lifts a leather clad server to retrieve the wine.
I digress; the wine was dark ruby, no signs of age, a nice balance of acidity and soft structure, with a mix of purple and black fruits that had both a muted nose and palate.....I'm guessing this will show better in a few years, and at the end of the dinner it seemed to be emerging. The palate had a nice blend of minerals and smoke, as many Graves do.

'01 Bahans one of the best Bordeaux wines ever to touch my lips
Re: TN: 2005 Bahans Haut-Brion
And you were also drinking history since this wine now has the rather odd name of "Le Clarence de Haut Brion".
As for quality, it is definitely worthwhile.
I have a couple of bottles in the cellar.

Yeah, but how many points did it get from the guy in the picture?
