September 2, 2007 - Full-bodied, gets better with air, enjoyed with dinner. Not very oaky, but long and on its peak now

November 5, 2006 - Not much flavour. Tiny amount of sediment. Past best, but better than the previous bottle!

September 7, 2004 - Medium ruby colour, pale at the rim. Fruity and vanilla aromas. Strawberry and vanilla on the palate. Prolonged length. Small amount of sediment. Average.
