Out of the bottle this was very youthful, tannin was very present on the finish. After 30-45 minutes it began to open up quite nicely. Fruit was very fresh and ripe.

Black currant, blackberry, sous bois, considerable fruit on nose; powerful, intense, prolonged, mixture of soil and faded fruit; perhaps not overly eager to please but impressive depth and strength After 2 Hours: Well integrated nose and palate, continues to be bold and forceful, though slightly softer and quite lovely

This one is showing its age. Herbal nose, hawthorn and leather bureau marred by celery notes.

Casual Burgundy Dinner (The Bristol - Chicago IL): Black plum and fig comes across very ripe with pronounced surmaturite character. Some slight muddy notes started emerging after open two hours.
