Tannens had softened beautifully and it had a wonderful smooth finish, just enough fruit. Next to it I noticed I have the 2003 and 2004 as well. Hope this was not just a lucky accident.

October 14, 2018 - Fruit day - fair bit of sediment - decanted off it... orange coloured rim with garnet core. Notes of lilac, orange blossom, raw beef, cedar, smoke and tar on the nose - layered, complex and impressive! Medium bodied with dark plum and black currant on the palate with still some ripe fine tannins showing. This is a gorgeous wine for a Bordeaux lover. The finish is long with the black currant and now some spice (nutmeg?) showing. Not tired in the remotest sense - if anything, in its prime!

March 14, 2015 - Last wine of the evening. Splash decant, drank over two hours.
Nose of sweet red fruits, earth, orange zest. Palate is sweet(er) red fruits, cherry, plum, sandalwood. Medium weight, mouth-feel and finish.
Past its prime but still enjoyable. Last bottle from this stash. Justin drink better 3-5 years from release. -

March 27, 2012 - I probably should have drank this last year. Still had a dark color. Nose was tight although had a hint of cherry and spice , almost Zinfandelish. Muted Jammu fruit on the palate, with no tannins.
