Decanted. Such power and beauty packed within, and this bottle is still young. Fresh dark fruit, woody, soft, salt, cacao fruit, cigar. Silky non-stop. Not the largest wine but the most elegant, my red WOTN. 97

Cork soaked through. About 4.5cm. Mature and wonderful nose of smoke, sweet dark fruit, earth, asphalt and violet. Smooth, rich and round on the palate. Touch of banana. Drank over 5 hours and gained sweetness and harmony over time. Just brilliant.

While it improved somewhat in the glass it was clear this bottle was definitely weak. No one thought it was corked but even for age it was tired and pinched. Still, there was a hint of smoke and gravel but not enough to take a second glass.

This example shows ripe black cherry and loam, impressive in its depth but a little monotone. This was followed long enough that, if complexities were going to emerge from this particular bottle, they would have done.
