Better than the last bottle. Highly volatile nose with really punchy mushroom and almond character. The palate is silky but very aged wet coal/cold ash characters. Interesting but I still think past its best.

Pongy - wet dog, initially, then blew off followed by dark tar. Still alive, mainly tar. Nose far more interesting then the palate, which was flat and short. Drink now.

Purchased at retail from a foreign cellar source. More scarlet than red but with no browning even at the rim. Hints of red floral aromas, otherwise lifeless with flavors lacking any kind of clarity. Not spoiled or corked, but far too old today.

For devotees of extremely old wine only. Rather ashen nose, with faint hints of mushroom and fig. Based on this bottle at least there's not much life in it.

Lovely nose of leather, figs, dried fruits, milk chocolate. Quite sharp on the palate with cranberry juice flavours and jutting acidity.
