What a great bottle of wine and what a place it is in today. I know that some may fine it a bit over the hill but the little bit of funk blows off quickly.

After that, the nose is of cedar, cigar dark fruit, cherries, some leathery notes. The structure is impeccable. Very balanced, medium + body, smooth and very attractive at this point in time. Again, not worth much more to cellar beyond this point. I think that it is in a great place now.
