Popped and poured, then consumed over two hours. Meaty black fruit aromas and flavors in a very distinctly Gevrey style. Still a bit firm, this is much more appealing than I recall from when tried shortly after release. Drinking well now, and with the structure to hold nicely for at least 5 more years.

Distinct mid-palate metallic taste. Frankly off-putting. Decreases after 2 hours open but never totally resolves, and opened bottle of 2002 Shea: much better but too young. My least satisfying SI to date.
