Grand Opening of Kampai bar (Auckland CBD): opened and breathed for 10 minutes. the nose is unclear, not appealing. heavy layered tannins, still grippy, might lasting in next 10 years. balanced acidity, cedar and some leather, earth notes. however, it's faded on details, getting very old, sagging texture, lost the inner strength. not a good vintage, over the peak on flavours, bit the modest structure is still solid, and still enjoyable in general.
Ap 5/5, Ar 10/15, Palate 15/20, Overall 4+4/10 Total 88/100

Should be drunken now. Really, I already missed the lovely flavours I normally get from Carruades.
