October 9, 2022 - Still perfect, hardly a sign of overage with 20y on the clock. Lovely pungent nose of strawberry and other light fruits. Dominant by tannin on the palate, but a soft less astringent taste blends well with sub-dominant earthy fruit still peaking through. Probably a good time to drink, the fruit is fading, but right now still a delight.

July 21, 2009 - Consistent with my previous reviews. Leave alone for a while longer (1-2 yrs) or try now but decant for at least 2 hours. (needs filtering for residue)
