Just classic. Drinking window has opened, but many years of drinking to come. Mostly tertiary notes of truffle and earth.

Jul 4th, 2018I think it got hot. Smelled and tasted like paint thinner. Also had a telltale rusty rim. Bummer! Probably a Vinopolis purchase.

Jun 4th, 20162006 vintage. Wow. What a nose. Fresh marzipan, almonds, violets, tar, bitumen - a LOT going on here. On the palate, medium bodied, high tannins - grippy and omnipresent but not overbearing. Great acidity. Cherry, kirsch and tarry on the mid- palate. Nice, long finish. Much better than expectation. A top '06.
