Not quite as “youthful” as the 1999 consumed at the same time. Decanted 2 hours. Still a great bottle with good fruit/acid balance. Blue fruits and strawberry with pepper.

Very spicy and aromatic, too much for my taste, with a lot of fruits left. Does not show its age at all I would never drink that at a young age. I will let my other bottle sit a couple of year

A lovely wine. Drinking perfectly. Great cigar box nose. Good length. Matched eye fillet perfectly. A real pity you cannot still buy these wines.

Despite being past its prime this wine showed very well. No hint of maderization. Strong berry and spice notes with mild residual acidity.
