  This bottle is in a very good condition.
  
  Aroma of sweetness, stone fruits like apricot, leather, a little bit earth, a little bit mushroom, yeast. It's complicated.
  
  High flavour intensity. relatively deep and broad. long finish.
  
  good acidity with melted tanning.
  
  Very elegant

  A bottle left over from a restaurant owned by the father of a friend. I have no idea how it was stored before we bought it. Extremely tight cork. Even a Durand didn't do much more than make a hole in the cork. Decanted maybe 20 minutes, some sediment, and poured.
  
  Definitely mature, of course. Fruit fading but still quite real. Still balanced. Mature elegance. "I may be old, so I don't have to try to impress you." No bricking, medium dark plum color. Scant nose, but what was there was an enjoyable prelude to its maturity on the palate. An enjoyable experience.

  A bottle that we inherited nearly eight years ago which had been abandoned at our former supper club. We have had it standing as a display since we took possession of it. I had to move the bottle and carelessly grabbed it and pushed the cork down. May as well try it, right? Tawny brown color. Nose shows something a bit nutty, almost sherry, but also some red berry fruit underneath. There's still some fruit on the palate too, though not much, but it's certainly not undrinkable. As I noted, this bottle was for display and we never intended to drink it given the lack of proper storage for a lengthy unknown time, but the fact that this still had some minor charm just goes to show how resilient wine really is. I'd imagine bottles that had actually been cared for would be rather enjoyable even today.

  This great wine had a beautiful perfume on opening, which dissipated on pouring. I tasted it over two consecutive evenings. It had a translucent ruby red colour the first night and a very light taste. The second night it had developed a deeper colour and a fuller-bodied taste of blackberries. Before I opened it, I was afraid the wine was past it, but aside from the cork disintegrating, it was still a delightful experience.
