Top shoulder fill. Allowed to breathe in bottle one hour before tasting. Clear medium blood-garnet red with brick rim. Mature, elegant bouquet of cigar box, red currants, exposed mud flats, dried cranberries. Seamless, wonderfully balanced old claret. No idea why this bottle showed so much better than another bottle 22 months ago from the same source. This bottle seemed more youthful and well-preserved.

Medium nose with note with green, mint, red fruits, slight spices. Medium acidity and tannin. Declining, drink up.

Slight browning. Aroma of graphite, cedar, wet leaves and leather. Dark cherry and tart plum. Opened up with more fruit after about one hour.

WCC Saint Estephe Blind Tasting (Provence Restaurant, Albany, NY): Big, smoky black cherry nose. Smooth, fully mature. Lovely, but drink up. [My last bottle!]
