Secondary flavors of earth and prunes. Demonstrates a fine pedigree, but was not an outstanding or overly memorable bottle. Might be time to drink any of these that remain, if you have them.

Upon opening there was a clear aroma of oxidization but it was not so overwhelming as to deem the wine spoiled. There was still plenty of acidity, but the mid-palate was fairly flat with little fruit in evidence - instead the primary flavors were nuts and straw. But there was a hint of acidity on the finish, which opened up quite a bit with time in the glass and gave way to light citrus flavors and aromas. Together with the secondary flavors, the wine balanced out nicely. But drink this yesterday, in any case, its clearly going downhill.

Just delicious. Fascinating combination of fruitiness and graphite in the nose. Very balanced and deep fruity, acidic and leathery flavors. Wising I had some food to eat with it, but givent the circumstances I can't complain. 93 points.
