Intensely dusty, forrest floor, feel like a lot of the primary fruit has faded. Very pleasant secondary flavors though. Bay leaves, more dust. On the older side, past its prime, but still quite enjoyable.

A beautiful, classic bottle. Actually stank of TCA when I first opened it, and I was like here-we-go-again!, but whatever that was blew off. Smoky, cedar, spice-laden nose, nice verve on the palate, still layered and sweet. Glorious, tertiary stuff, still at peak.

Vegetal, peppery nose. Decanted for one hour before dinner. Wine was soft and light with mostly resolved tannins. Palate consisted of fresh red berries. Enjoyed with family for Christmas :)
