There was a bottle “†”, and I failed to note the shipper. Please, does anybody recall?

Mz70, decanted 06:30. Dark dark red. Palate extremely hot; not a proper showing.

A little volatile sharpness on the nose, but palate rich and fruity. Second tier in this company, but good.

Decanted 13 hours. 35% opacity, mature red. Fresh nose, some mint. Smooth entry, gentle heat, lovely richness.
