Could be that this just wasnt a great bottle but I wouldnt hold much longer. No premox but heading that way I think? Also seemed a bit out of balance w/ acidity sticking out and a lack of any fruit. Bottle opened a few weeks ago showed much better but still not a great wine, that said others preferred more than me.

Drinking really well at the moment. Nice garnet color, hardly any bricking. Tannins fully resolved, ceder and tobacco on the nose, still some red fruits on the palate. Not a massive wine but very elegant.

From a really well stored case. deep red color, hardly any bricking. Great nose of bacon, beef blood etc. Finish on a previous bottle was a little short and didnt quite match the nose but this one was full and rich. Stood up to a very good bottle of 85 LLC
