Ullage in the neck, cork was in good shape. Popped cork, sat open for 2 hours, then decanted for 1 hour, poured back in bottle and consumed over 3 hours. Thick sediment, easily separated with a decant. Light bricking on the edges. Barely noticeable nose of red fruits and tobacco. Limited complexity, a bit flat, short finish, except for the tannins which stayed with you for 1 minute. Metallic finish that periodically appeared/disappeared. Good acidity - paired great with food.

Still youthful. Tar, coffee, rose petals, very smooth palate with good supporting acidity. Drank with Micha and Sandra after EQE.
