Bracing, forthright; not awkward or angular but undoubtedly still some firmness to it; an undertone of ripe, sweet black fruit still clinging on under well-developed bramble, spice, and fig. Utterly charming, perfectly resolved, no doubt beyond its peak but remains full of life and vigour.

Tobaco, ashes, graphite, roast aromas on the nose; good Balance, very thin upon opening but puts on some weight with air; sourcherries on the palate and the finish; finish is pretty long for such a thin wine. Last bottle in august 19 was much better

Showed very well, since I expected it to be shot. Still has pronounced tanin but refined. Graphite, bell pepper, mushroom, leather. Acidity and medium length.

Too late. Drinkable but 50%+ gone.

for a wine this old this showed really well and much much younger, tasted more like a late 90 or early 2000s...indestructible wine
