I agree with the earlier reviews. It’s a big wine, almost too big. Nothing subtle about it despite being almost 17 years old. It was my only bottle. If you have some, I would sit on it in the hope that it settles down and integrates better in later years.

This wine is hitting its stride now. Slow oxed for a couple of hours. It kept getting better throughout the night. You can easily keep for another 3 to 5 years. It has a lot of muscle left.

This was oak bomb. I’m picking splinters out of my teeth. It seems to have gotten more oakey on day two. Time may balance it out but there is some real work to do. There are better values elsewhere.
