Tasting notes

75 cl. Cordier-bottle. Chateau-bottling. Deep red colour. Lightly bricking. Fine nose, typical with hints of stable, cedarwood, lead-pencil, floral high notes. Complex and evolved. Fullbodied and concentrated Bordeaux in the mouth. A little typical '78 with much fruit, almost fat and a little low acidity. But the fruit is very fine. Evolved and typical with it's hints of cedar, stable and lead-pencil. But also fine floral hints. Dry and quite tannic end. Good length. Fine '78 that is ready now, but will keep.
