My #1, Love this wine. Distend leather/pepper that just kept evolving in the glass. 75% Hywel mountain fruit.

I was surprised at how much better this was almost two hours from pop. The profile here is fairly light and bordeaux like. Initially it was mainly herbs de Provence, leather, underripe black cherries and even some tomato like notes on the nose with more of the same on the palate, but then it channeled some smoked meat, plum, and peppercorn characteristics as it opened alongside more bright red and black fruits. Really beefed up and drank younger than it is. I think this can still hold for a few more years, though it’s not getting better. Thanks @Keith Fisher .

The last 20th century wine in my cellar. Several years of life left — took an hour decant to integrate the still-lively tannins.

Out of magnum. Drinking perfectly now. No reason to wait, but you won't be penalized if you hold onto this for another decade.
