  May 13, 2012 - very bricking in color which shows the age of the bottle. very noticeable mushroom and a hint of green grass. but, short to medium finish with very little (or none) fruit. this is obvious way past it peak, and feel nothing much left in the bottle.

  June 19, 2010 - Served blind. Lots of bricking obviously well aged, but very clear and not too much sediment. Highly developed tertiary flavours of mushroom and forest floor. Not much fruit left but a medium long finish and no bitter aftertaste. Very interesting wine to try and still enjoyable, albeit on the decline at this point. I guessed left bank 20yrs+. Drink up.
