Sold and relabeled by Christies, this was recorked at some point in time and heavily topped off with a younger vintage. So, some of this was drinking bottled history. Still, it's what's in the bottle that counts, and this a pleasant, older, not distinct, elegant, tobacco and cassis focused wine that I am never going to taste again.

Some funky, cheesy, nutty things happening the nose. The palate is better than the nose and actually sweetens up in the glass. It has some florals that build and the aroma develops a passionfruit vine smell that is quite pleasant. It is still a wine of vitality and a really interesting thing to taste.
