Gorgeous, elegant bottle. Wet earth and leather on the nose. Dried cherries, mushroom, and mineral weave seamlessly on the palate through a long, intricately balanced finish. Delicate, with excellent balance for an aged claret. Will be good for several more years, but no reason to wait.

Better of two magnums. Gently rising and falling layers of secondary and tertiary flavors; still some structure; still some fruit. Dried cherries, pepper, smoke, thyme. Really a treat.

nose - musty, old shoe, fig, brown sugar. Smelling dank. Mouth - still alove with some red fruits, mushroomy, overall very savory. For food. Not for fruit bomb lovers.

Excellent. Cherry, fruits rouge, plume, bonne mâche, champignons, sous-bois, cuir, très bonne finale alcoolique. Parfaite maturité. Acidité d'excellent aloi.
