From a good bottle with into neck fill. Tame, smooth and round with beautiful tertiary aromas in the nose. This one was in a perfect place - highly enjoyable (if you like old Bordeaux).

I love to drink Bordeaux when it starts smelling like Bordeaux. What a wonderful bottle this was. Lean, full of acid but an enormous amount gorgeously sweet, not overripe, not cooked, not over-mature red fruit in the core. The nose is very tertiary, with sanguine notes melded with rusty iron, autumn leaves and dry flowers. Tannins are fully resolved on the mid-palate. The texture is almost that of aged Burgundy. Finishes long and slightly dusty. Amazing bottle.
