My last bottle of a few, and perhaps the best. Classic nose, fruit is still there with some cedar, ash and leather. Still lots of power in the palate, but softened into complex elegance. Well worth the wait, even for such an underrated vintage. I should re-stock on Haut Marbuzet, which has remained affordable.
