Had a bottle last night. Cork was almost crumbling. A good decanting and opening helps. Still very good. First time having this and liked it. Recommend drinking *now* and don't wait.

Cork was perfect. Color showed some some bricking, but a very pretty color. Nose was somewhat muted and surprised by that. Taste was on the lighter weighted side. Not so complex and somewhat disjointed. Overall a good wine but would not seek out this vintage again.

Showing well developed, however I warn you, decant for at least 3 hours! very complex with lots of tobacco, tar and cigar box aromas. Pruny and mineral, light to medium color, elegant texture and very balanced. Excellent company to 'Bistro style' pan roasted rib eye steak with clarified butter and shallots, kale and Yukon gold potatoes mashed with roasted garlic and truffle oil. Leave one wishing there was more in the bottle.

Fantastic fruity nose, great colour, disappointing finish. Should have been consumed a year or two ago.
