Some VA, but still an interesting 26 y/o burg. Probably better 5-10 years prior but still a big/deep wine. Enjoyable but not something to seek out IMO.

Colour - light red with orange tinge Aroma - spiced oak, roast venison, black cherries and fragrant roses - very powerful overall. Flavour - focused, vibrant and alive. Good tannic structure, sweet fruit which initially moved to a slightly drying finish but over a few hours softened and showed great balance. Black cherries, cassis, savoury, meat, spice and bracken. A very complex wine.

No fruit, but also nothing developing in its place. Dead or just a bad bottle?
