Possibly past its best, but still in reasonable shape indicating quality cellaring. Always a bonus when buying at auction. Could have done with a decent decant but wasn't sure if it would take it. You live and learn.

Ruby red color. Some bricking at the rim. Nose of cedar and red fruits. Nice nose - very pleasant. On the palate, earthy, mineral, red fruits. Shortish finish, but this is amazing for a second wine that is 10 years old. Very good wine, still has a few years of life left, but probably not going to get any better.

Attractive nose of graphite, earth and cassis. Simple palate, still very tannic but the fruit was lacking. Dry finish.
