December 15, 2023 - Very fresh. Tar, earth and red fruits. More fruit with air. More purity than the 1998.

July 8, 2021 - Quick decant. Aromas of tar, earth, dried cherry and dried raspberry. Flavors of cherry, tar, truffle, iron and earth. Ends with a 35-40 second finish with tar and dried cherry notes. The 94 was a bit more expressive but it was open longer. This finish on this though seemed a bit longer. Drawing a tie here but may update once this is open longer.
Update: giving the edge to the 94. -

Mouth - nicely balanced, aged fruit profile, good acidity and still plenty of tannins, a charming drink and in a pretty mellow phase. No rush but wouldn’t hold onto this that much longer. -
