Tasting notes

Red colour. Nose is very shy at first. Showing some citrus. A couple of hours of airing helps a little. Shows fine hints of rasberries and flowers with a touch of tar. Still a little shy. In the mouth this is highly mature and the fruit seems somewhat faded. It does open up to show some elegance and fine flowers and rasberries in the fruit with hints of tar. Little tannins and the acidity pronounced in the balance. It worked well with food. I wonder if there are better bottles around? This bottle was better 2-3 years ago.
