Well-stored bottle with a very nice fill into the neck. Great gamy and savory nose with savory sweet tobacco, truffle, brett, herbs. On the palate this is evolved with spicy browning fruit, leather, etc. Really good wine, not quite the powerhouse that the 1993 is at this stage but still alive and drinking very well.

Slight brett, barnyard, cranberry, red fruit, herbal elements, slight smoke, smoked meat element, really interesting, tobacco. Needs plenty of air, opened a couple hours before drinking and improves over the couple hours of drinking. Cork was a problem so decanted. Heavy sediment in every bottle so far.

Smoky, meaty. Dark fruit. Good acidity. Dark fruit (blueberry, slight plum). Lingering finish. Really enjoyable. Lots of sediment.
