  Ageing rim. Distinct mature cab sav nose with spices. Certainly left bank claret!
  
  Palate deep black currant and cassis. Sweeter cherry and touch of cedar on end. Maturer notes of tobacco and ash along with earth. Balanced and decent finish.
  
  Tasted blind and rather enjoyed - revealed to be 1998 Batailley so punching above its weight!

  This has lasted better than I expected - drink soon, but it's certainly not falling over. Classic Pauillac cedar, some sweet spice and fading but still evident blackcurrant fruit. Lovely stuff!

  Decanted an hour ahead and classically paired with roast beef, just excellent. Deep plum colour, great balance of wood and fruit flavours. It had a depth suggesting that it would keep for longer without anything bad happening, but I think the balance is such that it's unlikly to improve further.
