Tasted 13 Sep 2010: Garnet-ruby core. A mesmerizingly sweet perfume of caramel, mocha, chocolate, violets, figs, prunes, wet leaves, tobacco, cigar box and leather. Its age more evident on the palate, showing a delicate structure, balanced and completely integrated flavours, sweet entry leading to layers of smoky, earthy and vegetal character. Reasonable length finish, perhaps a touch astringent on the finish but that's understandable given its age! A remarkable effort for a second wine with shades of the Grand Vin! An incredibly rare wine. 18/20
