  Fulfilled expectations. No bricking, nose mature dark fruit and strawberry with hint of eucalyptus . Taste: medium bodied, well balanced, medium finish.

  Well developed, multifaceted notes of flowers, earth, minerals --- a medium-body wine. Enjoyed this tremendously.

  Revisiting this after seven years. Very smooth but with a freshness that belies its 24 years of age. Lacks a bit of power and complexity to be an outstanding wine but extremely enjoyable. Still 5-10 years of life left in it.

  [Tasted Double Blind] This pours medium ruby in the glass with no bricking. The nose shows red currant, hazelnut, a touch of eucalyptus, and rocky soil. The palate enters on very densely packed fruit leaning red, with quite a lot of freshness. Tannin is medium plus and a touch woody, with medium acid. The finish is clipped with some tar and protruding alcohol. All in all the red leaning fruit and absence of the traditional tobacco elements here had me guessing a very deep and structured burgundy with moderate age. In retrospect I really should have gone to Bordeaux with the structure. This is quite a nice bottle even if a tad atypical in my view.

  From the coravin. Nose of tobacco and eucalyptus and blackberries. A hint of barnyard funk that blew off quickly. Fruit a bit faded but still present. Good acid. Tanins resolved but present. Savory notes. A very nice finish. A quality aged Bordeaux. Prolly time to drink. enjoyable - especially with food
