This was the split sized, 375 ml. Not sure if that's a benefit or not, but this was still in its prime. Nice fruit with that blackberry jam lusciousness. Drink now though.

Have to agree with the latest note of 3 years ago. I knew I was taking a risk letting this wine/vintage get to this point......With the pull of the cork I was encouraged - great fruit with a sense of balance. First tastes, very impressive, but then it went downhill quickly. Drinkable for sure, even a bit of enjoyment, but no WOW factor with it this far past prime.

Overall, a bit disappointed versus other vintages of this wine. This seemed "thin", missing the full fruit and jam-like textures one would expect.
