  I am moving house and orefer to drink up these okder bottles.
  
  I read a lot of ifs and buts from those of you with more refined palates of mine. I have NO idea what “elegant” means, but if this wine is inelegant, I’m all for it.
  Just delicious. That’s all you need to know

  Even though some members of our tasting group still felt this had a decent amount of potential on the upside, I felt this 18 year old wine - which I gave a couple of hours in a decanter - is in its prime right now. Granted, It is not an elegant wine, but I don't think it was ever meant to be. Tannins have subsided, the wine has filled out, quite a mouthful.

  Medium to full body, lots of tiertiary notes. Slightly too old for my liking. Needed at least 1-2hours decanting.

  Dark purple colour with matured brown hints. Black currant, blueberries, smokiness, cedar, tabacco. Medium acidity and aftertaste. Distinctive. Fine modern 18 years old Bordeaux.
