  A fine wine that mostly still delivers. While there are no hints of tannins, the structure is mostly still present. Drink ASAP to enjoy what is left of the wine.

  This is decidedly less good than the last bottle. The nose is a bit more stewed dark fruits, with some hints of leather, capsicum, and caramel. A bit sharp on the palate, though some nice fruit in the mid palate with a pleasant enough finish (some nice acidity lifts this up a bit at the end). Some light dusty tannins. This does seem to be a bit of power lurking underneath; I would not confuse this with a poorly made wine. It is just a bit disjointed at the moment, though it might get better over the evening, and perhaps with the steaks we are cooking, so will revisit. At the moment this is 88.

  Drinking very well. I recently picked up a couple of bottles at auction so I don't have any historical reference on this wine. But, it appears to be holding up well based on previous comments over the last 5 or so years.

  Dusty nose of sweet wood, stewed plums, pipe tobacco, dark currants, with hint of iodine, more milk than dark chocolate, with a slight bit of heat. Lovely palate of sweet dark fruits, dark cherries, with a nice hint of chocolate. Not very fruit forward (notwithstanding my description!). There is some nice balance here, with medium acidity. Tannins are mostly resolved. Finish is medium, with that nice sweet dark fruit. This is drinking quite nicely now. It will be good for the next few years I would guess. Not sure about longer.
  
  Add: 2 days later still drinking nicely. Not amazingly complex, but the heat is reduced and the fruit is still nice and not overpowering.

  nose: sweet tobacco, new leather, slight stewed plum. very nice and interesting
  palate follows nose with nice flavor profile and very nice length and finish. This bottle was lovely and had some life to it.
  Would buy again.
