Beautiful bottle of this. Nose of sausages/kielbasa and sauerkraut, cranberry/cherry, tobacco, my coworker also said coconut/chocolate candy. Hi-toned and incredibly balanced with present but integrated/resolved tannin, pale red in color, this is thoroughly mature but so balanced and stable that it will probably just cruise along like this for ages.

Drunk over dinner with friends, no formal TN. Drinking the last sips on day 2 as I am writing here. Stinky as it was poured in the glass, but it cleaned up quickly. Lean, still lively, lovely. Tannins are still grippy, but very fine. The remaining red fruit reminds me of cranberries on the palate, but the nose has quite some tertiary notes which bring to mind nutmeg and tobacco leaves. I loved it.

Mature, light bodied, elegant. Somewhat oily on palate. Quite delicious. One of our party thought it was mildly flawed (corked or vinegarized, I don't remember which), but she enjoyed it just the same. Does not want much competition from food.
