not the best of bottles sadly. too much madeira and funk.

floral nose with minerals and earth and a touch of coffee. a little sharp on the finish.
opened for two hours without decanting. by far best bottle in recent years. soaring nose of tobacco and toast. great intensity. superb.
opened for 2hrs without decanting. completely overwhelmed by Latour a Pomerol side by side. good but not great. perhaps could have done with some decanting.
corked.
double decanted back to bottle 3hrs prior. ripe and sweet with hints of smoke and honey. drinking beautifully. surprise package of the evening.
double decanted back to bottle 3hrs prior. sweet, smoky and velvety. lovely wine.
