Not bad for 19 years old, but probably past its peak. Some red fruit (actually grew for a couple of hours), cherries, light spices, a little nutmeg, mint, lots of minerals. Medium bodied, with quite brisk acidity. Tannins relatively mellow, but still a little firmess on the finish. Medium finish. Good wine, didn't blow me away. Drink up.

Kept this one for 10 years in the cellar (purchased in 2014). Seems in a good spot now. Spices, smoke, mint, cassis, cedar, cocoa, minerality. Medium-bodied, good intensity, rather smooth tannins, strong acidity. Good match to a home made hamburger. Drink now and in the next 5-8 years.

Deep golden colour. White fruits, white flowers, a little exotic fruit, slight vanilla, minerals. Evolved but still fresh, in very good condition. Probably time to drink up.
