Fill into neck. Capsule and cork in excellent condition. Allowed to breathe in bottle for 60 minutes, then decanted for 30 minutes, re-bottled and brought to dinner. Clear blood-garnet red. Mature bouquet of red plum, meat juice, pomegranate, green tobacco, cedar. Seamless, velvety, medium body, medium finish.

Fill into neck, perfect capsule and cork. Decanted 30 minutes before tasting. Clear deep dark garnet-blood red. Day #1: subdued bouquet of currants, cherries, forest floor, touch of cloves and coffee. Medium-full bodied, smooth, elegant, very nice. Day #2 under vacuum stopper: starting to fall apart, with notes of blood and rust but still quite good.
