Last bottle. Very nice, very aged, plum and raisin nose, round, mature mouth. Velvety and very nice, tertiary aromas. These are on the top of the hill, from excellent storage, and to been drunk up now.

Barnyard and horse on the nose when opened. Decanted carefully but still lots of fine sediment floating in the wine; apparently a problem with this and the 2000 vintage so they found it hard to sell. Didn't affect the taste of course but decided to filter anyway. Some mild licorice and earthy cherry emerged. Still has tannins and balance. Got better and better with time, peaking at 2-3 hours in glass.

Aromas of wet wool. Tired and almost gone.

Tightly wound fruit, proper tar and roses. Very bitter finish, quite tannic, good acidity. Big but not heavy. Needs to breathe or wait.

Bouquet of dried fruits like prunes and figs, chocolate and liqourice. Intense and fruity in the mouth. Peaked after several hours in the glass.
