Wednesday, March 11, 2015 - I detected more signs of decline than on a previous bottle a few years ago, e.g. a metallic touch on the nose and a varnish edge to the brightness of the fruit, but it remained a much lovelier drop than most technically immaculate wines. The aromas on the nose were of fine red fruit, especially raspberry, with some herbs and that intermittent metallic impression. The medium bodied palate was very expressive with still some bright primary fruit, some forest floor, still lively acidity, silky texture perhaps hardening somewhat, more herbs and touches of tar and leather. The aromas filled the mouth and lasted quite long with still some firmness on the finish. Very good.
