Kept going back and forth with this whether it was just over the hill or whether it was slightly off - never reached a conclusion but either way just a bit off; Musty but not showing corked; Medium depth of fruit; Ok

Drank with steaks at home. Bottle decanted about 45 minutes. Translucent ruby in color. Vanilla, oak, plums, spice on the nose. Decidedly plum and cherry on the palate, a little thin/light bodied, but well-balanced. Fully resolved tannins. A nice, solid CdP that is probably as good as it is ever going to be. If I had another, I'd drink it now.

Gourmetklubbens trettioförsta middag (A+N, Sundbyberg): Herbal notes, pepper and warm fruit with lots of oak in the finish. Still feeling rather youthful.

Un pur délice. Une finale de rêve. Conservé 8 ans et il méritait cette longue attente!
