Good news. Beautiful dark purple black color. Only 8mm of cork creep. No brown at the edges. No tanin left. Perfectly balanced. Drinking beautifully. No need to keep longer, however should last 2-4yrs. Drink now if you have it. It’s at its peak.

Very dark red/purple color, 8mm transitional edge. PNP, drank a glass plus over 2.5hrs. This has a higher toned nose than the '05 Fombrauge next to it; earth, leather, cassi, dark raspberry, dried flowers, and menthol as this is really evolving over 90 minutesand longer. The palate is full and layered with the cassi, dark berries, and cherry notes, dusty, dried wood, earth, graphite, wood and menthol on the finish. Very nice, still on the uphill side. Certainly has 5 years (or better).
