A hint of bricking. Decanted for 15 minutes. Nose of cola, tea rose, cedar, moist earth and some camphor. The mouthfeel and first tastes were a bit thin, and less than expected. Still good fruit, but not much stuffing to really fill the mid-palate and finish. shortish finish. A pleasant wine, but disappointing.

Deep garnet, with a hint of bricking. Red fruits on the nose, followed by baking spice and some camphor. Cola and raspberries, with cranberries and some toast. This is a lovely wine.

My one and only bottle was quite good. I found it very fresh on the first day after a half hour of air. By the second day after being recorked and placed in the fridge it got more earthy. Probably a couple more years left.

A delicate pretty wine. This showed a touch more youthful than the prior bottle, similar profile.
