  Another nice bottle of this, showing slightly better than my first bottle with more consistent, pervasive fruit throughout the palate, supporting the aged tertiary notes. Tart, dark red fruit with an attractive rose petal note towards the backend and finish. The middle showed that trademark estournelles rusty iron pipe note that gave way to traces of orange zest. Less noticeable was brambly dark berry fruit, which showed itself aromatically in glimpses on the nose and palate. This is elegant and light while maintaining good body. Grippy tannins are still evident in the middle and finish and, while there was still sufficient fruit in this bottle to offset them, these seem here to stay.
  
  Very Good – Drink Now

  Very much like my last bottle; fully mature with red fruit, mature dusty, earthy, mushroom, and other tertiary notes all coming together on the nose and palate. Very light on its feet, still quite fresh and vibrant though the tannin does stick out a bit on the finish.

  Salil's Last Supper: Red berries, cherries, mushroom, savory notes. Very silky palate. Quite enjoyable, but the acid, savory and earthy notes, and slightly drying tannin are more in the forefront, as the fruit is fading. Wine started to fade after a few hours. Drink now.

  Drinking beautifully right now. Gentle red fruited flavours, earth, and more savoury leathery and mushroom elements all coming together very seamlessly on a graceful, lightweight frame. It's very polished with the tannin almost fully resolved and a beautiful texture on the palate that makes it all too easy to drink.

  Medi brick. Cherry, spice. Very light body, surprising tannin (fairly light but still present), sour cherry acid. Good, not great. Very nice. Nose started to fade after two hours or so.
