Bottle 8 years ago disappointing, after bottle nine years ago was great. I needed to wait. This is beautiful-fruit (black cherries and other dark fruits are still there), but it remains an elegant wine, with integrated tannins. So smooth in the mid palate, and lingers at the end. I am sold on well made 20+ year old Bordeaux. Had with burgers, albeit Wagyu beef burgers.

Second bottle on Easter. Decanted for 5 hours and it remained fresh and velvety throughout the next 2 hour of dinner and drinks. Still has the excellent fruit on the nose and drinks like an old world beauty. Silky with limited tannins remaining. Really paired well with the Easter fare. 9 more bottles and I cannot wait.

First bottle of Easter
Cork was a mess and the wine was flawed. Tried to enjoy it as I opened two bottles for Easter but most of it went down the drain.
