"Dried flowers and black fruits on the nose, with some mahogany and bark. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and good hold and length. Complex and persistent. Tonic, too. A special wine, showing its age and tradition. Decant an hour before serving. Drink or keep. (James Suckling - 2021)

A wine that is both fine and powerful. It gains in finesse as it opens. It's just right, at its peak.

Wine has passed... worm-eaten appearance on the nose and palate. Not very pleasant despite prolonged aeration. My glass ended up in the sink
