  Have gone over the top. Unfortunately. Everything is there butthe vigour, acidity is simply not there. Had the same wine one year ago and that was brilliant!

  Having read other users' notes on this wine, I decided to open a bottle to check its condition. The fruit is pristine, with dark plum and sweet oranges taking the lead. Tea, tar, cinnamon, tobacco complement the picture. Long, savoury finish. A beauty, drinking well now through 2035. Perfect with roast duck.
  
  On day two, the texture is rounder and fuller. In other words, no rush with the remaining bottles...

  Fading fruit. Not much for the nose left. Smooth tannins. Reaching it's end.

  Deep garnet color. Fragrant nose of violets. Medium body. Flavors of dark fruit, tobacco, iron, and sandalwood. Mid strength tannins with a pronounced acidity. The fruit is fading ito the background, but the wine should have ay least Another 5 years before any significant decline.

  I was nervous about this bottle. It was a recent acquisition and it had a low fill - a hair above the neck. The cork displayed signs of seepage and required a Durand to extract. Sometimes a wine will fool you. This is one heck of a beautiful wine. Dark cherry, old leather, licorice, and acidity that is well integrated. I couldn't be happier with it.
