Double-decanted. A bit of old bottle funk and muddled flavors upon first opening. After an hour, the fruit came out and was drinking very well. Soft but still a good bit of life left. Drink over next five years.

This was better than the last bottle, and other than being a little reticent for the first ~30 minutes open, was really singing. Drinking wonderfully.

Elegant nose of tobacco, wood and hints of fruit. Still lively with a couple of tannins left, could have wished for some more fruit, decent length.

Kleur: Opvallend doorzichtig, oranjebruin met een brede rand. Aroma / bouquet: Een bouquet voor de liefhebber (zoals ik ;-) )… Serieus tertiair met tonen van maggi / madeira. Smaak / Afdronk: Boterzacht. Zachte zuren, zijdezachte tannines. Maar nog steeds behoorlijk in balans. Algemeen / potentieel: 50 + Kleur: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 15 + Smaak / Afdronk: 14 + Algemeen / potentieel: 9 = 93/100
Colour: Strikingly transparent, orange-brown with a wide edge. Aroma / bouquet: A bouquet for the enthusiast (like me ;-) )… Serious tertiary with notes of maggi / madeira. Taste / Aftertaste: Buttery soft. Soft acids, silky tannins. But still quite balanced. General / potential: 50 + Colour: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 15 + Taste / Aftertaste: 14 + General / potential: 9 = 93/100

Lovely leaf and tobacco filled plum and cherry fruit. Still very fresh with nicely integrated, suave structure. Long.
