See my previous note. The wine has kept the qualities. At the very beginning it needed a bit of air to open up. Being now 13 years old and not having developed further, I would say drink now!

More oak forward than I prefer, though certainly a diverse variety of flavors create complexity. Some alcohol heat is present. I may hold my other bottle a bit to see if it evolves further.

I love it! The wine is now 10 years old, the cork came out in one pice to liberate an dark ruby juice, almost fully saturated that smells of black cherries, plums, raspberries and fine herbs. The wine is rich, complex with with well articulated spices, volcanic minerality and salinity and fresh notes. The acidity is extraordinarily well integrated and leads to a long finish with a nuance of smoke. Even after a glass of water, one can still appreciate a botanical aftertaste.

Drinking great. Mineral and herbs coming through. There is enough there without being overly complex.
