Delicate floral perfume, quite delicious. Mostly tertiary leather, earth and white pepper but with dried red fruits and rose petals. Long and complex. Drink now but will last for years yet.

Goodness me, this wine has a lot of life left in it yet. Wonderful ruby colour and a nose of elegant, soft fruit - excellent complexity with mushroom and earth mixed in with sweet soft fruit. Great balance and fantastic depth in such an old wine. Long; soft finish but still with nice grip. This really is a quite excellent wine - a tribute to the longevity of Bordeaux if it is left well alone long enough.

Pretty amazing wine. Very smooth, tobacco, notes of leather, no fruit left.
