Wow! This has aged very well. Blackberry and raspberry notes combined with licorice and pepper/spices. Silky and long finish. Paired amazingly perfectly with cacio e pepe. The finish went on and on with the pepper! Also paired really well with short ribs and buttery mashed potatoes. And paired really well with a poached lobster, mango, red pepper, and avocado dish. I hope people still have a few of these in their cellar!

This is definitely on its last legs. Decent depth. Silky smooth. Any tannins it had before have disappeared due to age. Lots of red fruit. Had to let it breathe for 90 min. Enjoyable for sure with steak and black truffle risotto.
