Very good level and cork. Drank it over two days. I expected a more austere wine but despite its pedigree and vintage there was some silkiness in the tannins and some subdued remaining black fruit (cassis). Finish on the short side. Paired well with a simple pasta dish. I would give it five more years, if well stored.

Bought a case upon release, four bottles left. Pristine cork. Medium body, core still opaque, aromatics clearly indicative of a cooler vintage, leather, tobaccho, classic style. No hurry to finish the remainder of the case.
