Wow , just a great bottle. Still bright, belies its age, sweet, cassis, leather, iron /ferrous/ palate still excellent, long , complex, still has structural tannins. Its drinking window still strong. Remarkable for 46 year old Bordeaux

(6-1993).
Dark red. Good intensity. Advanced and always brilliant. Net. Average intensity. End. Fees and fruity. Net. More intense. Nuance fur and meat. Quite complex with a touch vegetal. Net attack developing on a large structure and juicy, fruity, good concentration. Slow evolution that evolves remarkably balanced tannins fat, to a final sappy and a bit austere persist long ripe fruit. Very long finish where there are racy notes. Great wine to start drinking. .

The first vintage made under the expert management of Jean-Eugene Borie and his son, Xavier, the 1978 remains a classic Pauillac with fine cellaring potential. Dark ruby garnet with a ripe, intense bouquet of cassis, fruit, cedar, and vanillin oakiness, this wine is rich, with excellent body and the tannins quickly melting away. It can be drunk now or cellared for another decade.
