Further to my Note of Aug 20, '21: this is #2. Consistent notes on sediment, color, nose, palate, mouthfeel--and adding a note about some raisins in the nose and palate. Still delicious, would like more. Outstanding-.

Bought 2b for 12/b from WL almost 10 years ago; this is #1. Solid cork. Decanted with normal sediment for its age. Dark purple; subdued dark fruit nose; mature blackberry, black plum, some earthy richness, good mouthfeel; some persistence. Mature and delicious, glad to have one more and could handle more. Stored horizontally in a cool, dark basement since purchase. My evaluation (see earlier posts for my 4-category, non-point rating system): This is outstanding- when considering quality, age, and price.

This bottle was fine vs the last one I opened last year January. It was full bodied, dark fruits notes of blackberry and currants with some intensity left.

Plenty of life in this. Primary plum fruit, touch of spice and oak. Simple but pure and easy drinking.
