A tad musty at first, but when this blew off it had rich umami and forest floor with excellent depth and little hints of sweet fruit that kept poking in for an evanescent moment. Was wishing for a bit more of that fruit to shine.

Excellent showing. Earthy, mushroomy nose, but the palate shows concentrated juicy black cherry, spice, bramble, and bright acidity. Great clarity of flavour.

Bottle opened at 6:30 PM, decanted at 7:30 PM, tasting began at 8 PM. Clear medium garnet-ruby color. Earthy bouquet with mixed red fruit and horse sweat suggestive of the horse-drawn carts often used to collect the grape harvest. Medium body, balanced and seamless.

Excellent showing. Tangy cranberry and cherry augmented by smoke and dry forest floor. Very good depth and body, and good acidity. A winner.

After 18 years still running strong but not harsh. Fine structure with good acidity, nice fruit and floral aromas and even better on the second day.
