Came out swinging hard, almost profound, but fell apart somewhat quickly...unlikely meant to have cellared so long. I鈥檇 love to taste younger versions of this - there were hints of real greatness.

P&P with a short decant. Very fine tannins with most of the sediment stuck to the side of the bottle. Blind I would have thought it was a great C么te-R么tie! Brown edges but otherwise color of something 15 years younger. Forest floor, savory and VG+finish. Been in my cellar since release 馃槢

Nice smooth inky black fruit. A little thin throughout. Decent cork and a nice sediment line down the bottle so it appears to have been stored correctly. Maybe just too old? 馃槩
