seeking clarification on aged bordeaux question

[newsguy]

thanks all, for the information. i am here to learn and to share what i learn...

... and what i learned on the 87 talbot and 96 cantemerle, is they both smell like a big green pepper! [img]http://wines.com/ubb2/wink.gif[/img]

as many of you know, i tend to prefer cali (and even aussie) cabs to bordeauxs (at least the ones i can afford), but of the maybe 50 or so bordeauxs i've tried in the past 5 years, only these two to my nose and palate were dominated and i mean DOMINATED by green pepper. hope this percentage holds out.
