This bottle was much livelier and less tired than the first bottle I opened recently from the same lot. Definitely a fair amount of bottle variation, because this bottle could have gone another 5 years. In a nice spot now, drink up.

Not sure I'd quite call it tired, but its probably slightly past peak. That said, plenty of life in the tank and past primary and into tertiary mode. Drink over the next 3 years

A bit tired but overall still enjoyable.

Full bodies though older. Nose of cassis and cherry on the tongue then leather and spice on the back end.

Muscular, but lacking finesse. Thought it would open with some time, but never went anywhere interesting
