  Decanted for 2 hours. CORK was in perfect condition. Great NOSE, loads of leather and a hint of old hay, all the other classic medoc notes. COLOR was still very vibrant with minimal bricking around the rim. PALATE was very herbaceous and savoury with subtle hints of dried thyme, almonds, olives, masses of black cherries and a very slight hint of barnyard- love it! Only negative was the lack of ripeness(like most of the 02's have) that really became apparent on the finish. TANNINS were lovely and powdery and fully intergrated. Really enjoyable wine at the price point, was well rewarded for my cellaring. A nice surprise!

  Nose after 10 mins in glass: dark fruit, black berry, medium intensity, oak, Tabaco, earthy. Very pleasant mature Bordeaux nose.
  
  Palate: medium bodied. Slight tannin. Length short/medium. Oak flavours dominates, not much fruit.
  
  Quite pleasant aged mature Bordeaux. Nose very good. Palate disappoints.

  Great bottle - drank after a Reserve de la Comtesse 05 which it totally outshone (which was not expected to say the least!) - lovely complex depth, enough fruit to keep it interesting. Enjoyed with a spectacular ribeye on the bone from East London Steak Co and home made chips.
