From magnum this was drinking beautifully. It is mid-weight, has some minty tones coupled with dried herbs and red berry fruits. It is fresh and lively with a hint of earthy development. It has good proportion and mouthwatering acidity.

StewartWent's comments are spot on. Looked at this over a few rare dry-aged rib-eyes alongside Clos du Marquis 1990. Confess that the Bordeaux took it but was pleasantly surprised with the earth and leather notes with slightly sweet red fruits that it showed. Delicate and memorable despite being past it's prime.

Too old in the tooth for my tastes. Interesting nose of earthy spicey aniseed character. Palate shows red fruits of thinning intensity and spice. More pinot-like that anything else. Tired but not disgraced.

At, or just past its peak. However, beautifully integrated, smooth and full bodied.
