Decanted an hour before starting to drink, and drinking slowly over the next couple of hours. Mature, browning on the rim, but still so dark, slightly restrained nose but hinting at smoky bacon aromas, mid weight with pleasant tea flavours. Best feature was lovely long, lingering finish.

Mature well-made Burgundy, with a browning rim, but still some fruit. Pleasant, but not outstanding. Finsh moderate at best, and slightly bitter - more cherry stone than flesh. Better with food (lamb) than on it's own.

Classic Sauternes. Didn't disappoint at the end of what had already been a special evening.
