This one is a strange beast. I find it the least attractive wine of the evening because it feels tired. Yet there is some charm in this bouquet full of old compote, cold coffee, chocolate, tobacco, dry humidor (lol, don't do it), and old buckwheat honey. On the palate, it's less interesting despite neatly developed tannins---the aftertaste is rather short (or at least not as long as I would expect) and dull.
