  (Decanted for half an hour)
  Deep red colour with a brick red hue and showing a mature nose of violets, liquorice, leather and truffles in a delicious way. Smoothing tannins on the balanced palate still showing lots of primary fruit with violets and liquorice and showing dried herbs. Perfect tonight with confit de canard.

  Deep red colour with a mature nose with leather, sweet red fruit and some cedar wood and herbs in a very nice and pleasant way. Nice and smooth on the palate with a pleasant fruitiness and evolved tannins and showing some tertiary notes of leather and liquorice on the very balanced and lengthy finish.

  Lovely maturity on the nose and with smooth tannins on the palate with a delicious chocolate and red berries note. Was at its best three hours later when it had really opened up.

  (Decanted for two hours)
  Deep red colour with a nice and warm nose showing wet soil, dried herbs and red berries together with some minerals. Nice and with smoothing tannins on the warm and fruity palate showing red berries, chocolate and with a nice and balanced smoothing finish where a nice austerity gives structure.

  Cork was pulled and a small taste poured off an hour before dinner and the cork was reinserted. Notes of leather, cedar and black fruits. Light in body and completely integrated with a little bit of fruit left. Dries out across the palate, becoming slightly austere through the finish. Slightly better with my venison loin than on its own, but this probably peaked a decade ago (IF this is a representative sample).
