An unpromising murky, polished mahogany colour. The nose is rather murky and has a dirty feel, with a touch of stink and furniture polish. This is almost dead, but you can see that there was some good stuff in there once. It is, however, just still drinkable, and tastes a lot better than the nose would suggest. It has a sweet sandy texture with some decent length.
Returning to the glass about an hour later, there was much more volatile lift on the nose, together with an overwhelming feel of death. It is, however, still much more drinkable than the nose suggests. The tannins are coming more to the fore, but it’s still drinkable. Definitely faded though.
