Monday, October 18, 2021 - Extracted the cork with Ah-So and decanted shortly before serving. The cork was strong, dense and in excellent condition with wine penetration about one quarter of the length. There was a limited thick sediment in the bottom of the bottle and then a limited fined grained lees. Much less sediment than was expecting.
Colour was deep garnet. The med+ nose had cassis, green pepper, cedar, graphite, spice and generally a Pauillac character. In the medium mouth it had cassis, cream, spice, was delicious and had a finish which both stretched on for ages (well over a minute) and cut through the food and persisted. Acidity was medium, tannin was med+ but very silky soft.
