Has likely peaked - no tannins left at all, was a bit weak in the finish, however a superb representation of Mercurey, long and harmonic with some red fruits at first followed by some herbal notes towards the finish. No explicit liquorice or tobacco, only a vague hint at the finish. Still took a few minutes to open up in the glass. Wish I had a few more bottles...

definitely showing its age. lovely sweet meaty nose. quite a complex wine for mercurey. nice attack, cherries and rich fruits, with a dry finish, maybe a hint of liquorice. some solid tannins still remain.
