Wine was only 1cm below the cork, cork was in perfect condition. Opened the night before and slow-ox in the bottle overnight before decanting at lunch time. Still a nose of red fruits and semi-dried flowers, much younger and less evolved than expected, likely due to the good storage conditions. It shut down a little at the start but more air and it started to sing! Paired with white truffles initially, this actually felt a bit too young for truffle, it was much better with the steak main course. Tannins mostly resolved and it has good structure and complexity with a medium long finish. Still plenty of life ahead if the bottle is kept well!

Nothing really wrong with this one, but way past its prime. Compared to the 71 Rabaja last week, this was really tired.
