W60: 60% translucent, orange red. Not much nose. To taste red fruit, heat, orange cake. Semi-full, good length.

Later a new note: not quite pineapple, nor coconut, but something of that type.

On the night: Quite dark for its age. Still lots of red. Dull nose but a nice weight and very smooth with prunes and dried figs. A good length. I enjoyed this wine although others thought it quite simple.

4 days later: Vegetal nose - bitter taste and has not benefited from the extended decanting.
