Pushed cork when we tried to open with Durand but turned out ok. Very smokey/bbq on initial opening. Decanted, and got mellower and smoother over 3 hrs. Really nice. Fully mature but still has good structure, acid and tannins. Mostly black fruits but light green, burnt toast, cedar, vanilla, and a gush of fruit on finish. This bottle was quite good, and had many years left.
