Most of the points go to the terrific depth of colour and the pleasant mature, rustic nose. Otherwise, as rather expected, the fruit is barely hanging on now and a bit attenuated.

Strongly cedar, woodsmoke, green tobacco, silky and rounded off but a backbone of tannin remains. More smoke on the finish, like those green chile drum roasters at the farmer's market in the summer. Pretty good.

Impeccably well stored since acquisition upon release. Nicely mature, nicely rich - tobacco cedar boxy mucho. The rarely matched extract of the 1975's shines through. Three hours on this has developed a certain honest sweet edge and a you can walk your dog before the finish wears off dimension. Fans of the modern style may not take to this wine, but my guess it that it will cut through most modern style Bordeaux you can put on your table.

Perfect fill. Plenty of dried tobacco and sauna odors. Fierce structure and only a bit of dried cherry to soften it. Mean.
