A beautiful wine. Decant for 1 hour and drink within 2. Earthy notes overlay deep dark fruit, leather and oak. Supple and soft yet so full bodied it takes one a few moments just to appreciate the palate. Tannins that were probably once powerful and puckering are now tamed by age and perfectly integrated. The finish is long and lingering. World class.

Wine was past it not off, but not good . I was surprised as I expect this to have a longer cellaring potential. Nose was flat, tasted too fruity. Recommend you drink now if you have this vintage

It is drinking very well right now. Still has very good fruit and a long smooth finish.
