Decanted for a couple of hours. Hints of leather and tobacco a bit of floral perfume in the bouquet. This wine is definitely past it’s prime but is still very drinkable. We have one bottle left and should drink it by year’s end. Thin finish, very soft tannins, but still very quaffable..Definitely not bad for a wine that was supposed to drink only to 2009.
Feb 1, 2022 Drank our last bottle. This one was quite lovely. Beautiful bouquet and very berry! Loved it…sorry to see the last 92 go!

Not surprising but well past prime - dominated with madeira with some hints of former glory.

Not a fan--perhaps I should have given it more points just for survival, but I thought it too acidic with scorched flavors on what fruit I could find.

Medium red. Medium nose , cassis, eucalyptus and scorched earth. Decent fruit flavours with a bit of menthol. Dry finish. Tons of acid.
