Had a great bottle of this. Drinking wonderful right now. Really elegant, mature notes but still has some freshness and fruit. Appealing amount of age to it. Would drink now and not age further

Popped and poured Dark fruit (blackberry, slight black cherry, slight cassis), slight earth, slight tobacco, slight herbal, good acidity. Lingering finish. Really enjoyable.

Dusty earthen nose with cherries. Cassis and blackberry predominate on the palate with some tannins still noted. Lighter than expected it nonetheless opened up nicely to become smooth and easy drinking especially as it complemented the grilled steak well.

Really lovely. Oozes class: silky tannins. Caresses the palate as it goes down. Wowed all. Great effort for 97. I do love 97s!

Very good. On the light side, starting to fade but very enjoyable. Decanted for 3 hours. It needed it very funky barnyard upon opening.
