On po and pour this showed nothing - reticent nose, harsh on the palate. Took 2.5 hours in the glass to get ready. Then mostly secondary, picked up weight, smooth. Really needs fatty protein to show at best, we paired with Delmonico steaks and it worked. Without accompaniment after dinner, not so much. I would drink up.

Unfortunately I only had about 4ml because of a farcical situation, but it was very good. I think it is at its top, sadly I had only one.
