Served blind. Nicely evolved in colour, but still rather dark for its age. Some fellow tasters picked up a cork taint on the nose - there was a slightly musty, woody smell at first, but it almost entirely blew off with some swirling. Earthy and herbal on the nose. No TCA issues on the palate for me, not much fruit but still quite lively and fresh. Nice grip, not flabby at all. Good length.

In good condition, high fill, roundness and softness I often find typical to Merlot, still good fruit and red berries.
