  An interesting nose, with a touch of cassis, and quite cedary with a lot of truffley mushrooms. Very soft on the attack. Lovely, elegant restrained fruit. A moderately old feel to it, with elegant softened tannins. Really well integrated. A mature elegant lady. Lovely earthy finish with magnificent length that goes on forever.
  After time a touch of soapiness appears on the nose and a hint of violets. Also with time, it is slightly more drying on the palate.
  I took just over a half of the bottle away with me, and finished the bottle at about 9.30 that night. No further development (despite having been on the long drive home) and it wasn't showing any signs of fading.
  Excellent wine.
