Showing beginnings of oxidation on the nose. Good spice elements to the nose. Lighter in profile on the palate with light varied spice, still some tannin, and declining energy on the finish. This bottle was just beginning to decline but still coherently put together. 93-

Vu le niveau (basse épaule), je ne m'attendais pas à ce qu'il soit encore vivant, mais il l'est, ô combien ! Fumé, tabac, girofle, venaison, gibier, résine de pin, et fin un peu épicée ; bonne acidité et équilibre. Grand vin étonnant et complexe. Il est toutefois plus que temps de le boire.

Waves of complexity and depth. Age is well hidden but is starting to creep up on this, but gracefully.

Leather, tobacco and cigar box. Fine balance.
