Thursday, April 18, 2024 - Totally agree with everyone who believes this is "beautifully declining" at its current age. The flavors are GREAT at the moment (especially the palate).
Red plums, roasted wild game, olive tapanade and a hint of mustiness on the nose. Medium + intensity of aromas. Smells quite nice; though a tad old (which it is!). The palate is much more lively, showing flavors of ripe black cherries, ripe red plums, balsamic, orange peel, green tobacco and smokey bacon. Absolute explosion of flavors - with a high intensity thereof. Finishes with blood and iron, and lasts around 45 seconds.
Structurally, it feels pretty old. Medium body with medium acid and low, almost no tannin. Guessing this peaked about 4 years ago - where it would probably rate a 95 or 96. Drink now and enjoy the beautiful flavors if you happen to have any.
