Excellent stuff. Bottle (including cork) in great shape. Slight bricking, otherwise nice medium-red. A little reduction at first, blows off quickly. Mainly just a nice reddish fruit nose with some earthiness. Same on the palate, with great balance. Gets a little stemmy (in both aroma and flavor) after the bottle has been open a couple of hours, but never offensive. Good for at least another 5 years.

Agree with details of prior note, though there were no green/stem notes in the wine this time.

Nice wine, cola, menthol, smoke, dense nose, in mouth tightly wound, still tannic, a little green.
