Decanted for sediment, showing a gorgeous dark color in the decanter. Gorgeous nose of dark currants, cassis, cherry, tobacco, and spice. There was just a bit of bret on the nose, but this blew off with a few minutes of swirling in the glass.
On the palate, this was some great classically aged Bordeaux. I wish I had a cellar full of stuff like this, as it is drinking so well. Very nice, mature palate with a bit of prune, plum, blackberry, and black cherry.
Nice lingering finish made this an absolute joy to drink, and this was definitely up there as a wine of the night contender. Very nice after drinking a bunch of new world pinot noir tonight. 93 points! Cheers!
