On the nose archetypical mature bordeaux - leather, animale, tobacco, pencil shavings, decaying black currant, earth. Very complex and just lovely. On the palate regrettably not as great. The fruit is somewhat faded. Some very mature, frankly decaying, black currant and raspberries. The overall impression is slightly thin. Still good lenght though and on the finish some of the complexity from the nose reappears. Even so lots of pleasure to be had and had the palate matched the nose this would have been outstanding.
