From magnum. Fully mature, very mellow, quite tertiary. Mainly leather with some fruit, structure quite soft now. Long amd complex. Drink up this will not last much longer.

Note: I use a scale on which 85 represents a very good wine.
Just shy of the magical 90. Fruit not strong enough to put it over that edge, but otherwise very, very good. Perfectly balanced. Any tannins fully resolved. I did not decant, and interestingly, the wine did not change demonstrably over the few hours I drank the bottle.
I see no reason to hold this any longer. Wish that I had another. (-:

Weak nose with black tea, coffee and black fruits.Probably past its peak but still drinkable. Suggest to drink up now, it's declining.
