Fairly light garnet orange Clear, but moderate sediment Completely resolved and completely tertiary. This is soft and delicate and drinking beautifully. Perhaps decant for sediment, but pour immediately to enjoy the evolution. For those that enjoy old wine, this seemed in no danger of collapse.

Decant 30min, with improved taste compared to the previous note. Medium acidity and medium- tannin. Very little fruits left, although it's still fresh with acidity. All tertiary notes left.

Upon opening, there’s a musky smell which was expected. It went away shortly in 10min in Zalto glass. Riped and cooked red fruits, plum, tea, spices. Taste slight sour in the palate. Medium acidity and medium- tannin. The tannin had fully resolved. Most likely it had went past its peak. Will see if there any more changes when allow to slow oxy.

After the previous more or less disappointing experience, I decided to keep my second bottle for another 5 years in the hope the wine would improve. On the contrary. Although kept under perfect circumstances the wine was too old. Still drinkable and tertiary in a nice way, but old age acidity has taken over. I do not score it this time.
