Has developed nicely. Tannins have softened but still there. Nice acidity…structure to support further aging. Starts to open up after a couple of hours…decant would be helpful at this point. Should easily see its 20th birthday.

On the nose surprisingly fresh and vibrant, gorgeous florals and baking spices. More black than red fruit, excellent integration. Subtle tertiary aromas of truffle, leather, and cigar box. A powerhouse but refined and elegant. I only wished the finish was a bit longer. These beautiful flavours disappeared quite quickly on the tongue.

Just fantastic. Really hit its stride with 4 hrs of air.
