Actually completely drinkable. Tight at opening, then actually very good for about an hour, then started to fade. Nuts, smoke, tropical, dry. Very nice with chicken/pineapple/soy sausages and potatos.
Day two, actually still kicking along, and the nose is better. Full of lanolin, hint of merde, and a vague sense of Carnal Flower perfume. In mouth, similar to last night, with a notion of apple. A lot of fun for a cuvee normale with this sort of age.

Mega plush and smooth but certainly not sweet at all. Elegantly mature. Well balanced with musky fruits. Just plain impressive for its age.
