Of the two notes below,the one from Jeremy Holmes is much closer to the experience we had with this wine. A hint of volatility, but really singing after about two hours in the decanter. A lot of life left in the fruit, which stole the show.

Just too old at this point. Still not flawed or undrinkable, but probably should have been opened 10 years ago. Just too thin at this point. Not much left to it.

Complex aromatics of spruce, tar, roses, cedar and truffle. The palate really intensifies with air and there's rich, vinous fruit at the wine's core. It is textural and layered, enveloping the mouth with savoury tinged flavour. There's still ample, chewy tannins and a line of minerally acidity.
