A very well-preserved bottle of three remaining. Still quite dark, and with an impressive amount of fruit. Distinctive Bordeaux nose of pencil shaving and graphite, evolving over several hours. Definitely some years left in this for well-stored bottles.

Still alive, albeit well past prime. Opened easily with an Ah-So. Light amber, crystal clear with careful decant. Great nose of cedar and smoke. Not much fruit left, again cedar on the palate, good acidity, persistence.
