March 19, 2021 - Still drinking strong after 16 years in the bottle. Mellowed out. Tannins are light. Notes of cherry, currant, blackberry.
Basically PNP. Still about the same after an hour decant. Drink up if u have it! -

November 17, 2018 - Still very alive and kicking. Sticky red fruit, vanilla, sweet tobacco, and eucalyptus. Round and plush but still time to drink up as tannins are more than resolved. Drank from a 6 liter.
