Weekly tasting group #168; Very mature wines. (@ DJ): In the bouquet barnyard, figs, coffee, tobacco, mushrooms and forest floor. On the palate still some red and dark berry fruits, sweet spices and leather. The acidity is still ok and the tannin still offers some bite. In fact still a lovely wine although it is many years past its peak. No score.

An easy evening with close friends (@ My place): Expressive bouquet with a lot of nuances; fruit and pleasant oak. Medium to full bodied. Quite much acidity. There is enough tannin for a few more years, but this wine doesn’t have the constitution for long ageing.
