Some (surprisingly good) recent Cellartracker comments:

8/19/2018 - MTPISGAH LIKES THIS WINE: 94 Points
Opened and poured, I wish I could have decanted it and let it sit for a bit but we were at a restaurant and it would have been too much trouble. Bricking around the edges, great dark red in the center. Leather, tobacco, some earth, red fruits, dust...everything a mature Bordeaux should be.

5/4/2018 - REZY13 LIKES THIS WINE:
Friday Night Double Blind Tasting $60+ (Bin 75 Alpharetta, GA): Crimson, clarity, orange in rim; reeks of Bordeaux, sweat, red currants, sour red fruit, iron, lots of green pepper, aged complexity, spicy, some fat but doesn't have the richness of a great vintage; was in younger Lynch Bages.

8/12/2017 - ROCKNROLLER WROTE: 95 Points
An Unintended Birthday Dinner (Margaux's Table, White Bear Lake, MN): Dark red colour, no bricking. PNP, drank 1+ glass over an hour. Wow, what an amazing bottle this was, far exceeding expectations. We were supposed to have a bottle of this a few weeks back that someone else was bringing, and it ended up being corked. I figured that odds were with us, but who knows. This is quintessential mature old school Bordeaux. A wine you can just sit and smell all night. Everything is wonderfully integrated, the nose is a beautiful perfume of leather, rose hips, roast beef, funk, pencil lead, fresh cedar box, with cassis, and boysenberry. The palate is also stellar, elegant, medium bodied, gorgeous tannins, integrated oak and tannins, and adding to cherry to everything present on the nose. Very long and balanced. While mature and completely ready to drink, I think this can easily go another 5 to 10 years. Might have been lightning in a bottle, but I'm likely underscoring this tonight at 95+pts.
