Bottle, cork, and most importantly wine, in perfect condition. Still vibrant colour. Ruy red, with deep core of colour. Wonderfully detailed nose. Definite nod to top class Bordeaux. Pencil and cassis nose. Quiet fresh palate but deceptively rich. Good balance of aged fruit with noticeable quality oak. Very good persistence. Top wine.
