Cork dry and desintegrating, removed it with a blade opener. Beautiful brickred colour. Intense scent of plums, cherry seeds, decomposing leaves and earth. Some salinity and animal notes. On the palate the fruit has made way for a velvety feeling. Stalks, cellar stairs, blood and Rowan. Nice acidity. Long finish. Quite an experience!
Lite smulig kork, men annars i fantastisk form! Vackert tegelrött med en intensiv doft av plommon, körsbärskärnor, multnade löv och jordkällare. Lite sälta och animaliska toner. I gommen har frukten gett vika till förmån för en sammetslen känsla i munnen. Stjälkar, källartrappa, blod och rönnbär. Fin syra. Lång eftersmak. En upplevelse

Durand n' pour-cork comes out whole. Relatively dark for its age; initially redder fruited, some forest floor, finish rather short. With air became more plummy, mineral, showing what I took to be a little more Margaux character, with a bit more of a sustained finish, including some nice mushroomy notes. Good balance; might have thought Pomerol and I suspect there is a fair amount of Merlot here. Not a mind (or palate) blowing wine, but lovely for what it is and its ability to so gracefully weather time.
