Some disagreement here, some thought atypical flavors. I thought it rounder than usual for Briords (and more so than a previous bottle), but to me the oystershell/saline thing was classic Briords. (note - this has a little bit of blueing on bottom of cork, but wasn’t oxidized). B+

Similar in color to the '05, but the nose here is a little diffuse.
Conversely, this might be a touch more structured/taut on the palate than the '05, and seemingly more persistent on the finish. I recall being so-so on the 2006 vintage on release, but this is pretty good today.

From magnum.
Oxidized - man, that sux ;^(
Bad enough having an oxidized/corked 750, but it's twice as bad (math pun intended) when it happens to a magnum!

Wonderful. Would never guess 12 year old wine. This stuff really ages well.
