Tim Parkhouse DWS, CWE

Faint dried red fruit and herbs and unsurprisingly rather thin & limp on the palate. This came from a reconditioned bottle and when decanted had very little sediment? I wonder if the removal of the sediment at recorking has had a negative impact on the natural ageing process of the wine? I feel the 1905 Mouton was showing a little better, which shouldn't really be the case.
