Eight years since last tasted; time was very kind. Superb on PnP, great color, elegant, perfectly mature with vivid, complex aromas and flavors. Burgundian popped into my head more than once. Seems in a perfect place for my tastes though it does have several years remaining. highly recommended

Final bottle - Aromas of baked red fruits and a touch of leather. Still plenty of red fruits alongside the earthy, dried meat and leather flavours that are developing. Maybe a touch lighter in intensity than the last bottle.
