This 16 year old wine still tastes very young. Very dense with sweet lead pencil notes and concentrated dark fruit. Like grape liquor. Downgraded this since last tasting because it has a heavy viscosity on the palate that I associate with lower quality wine, or maybe my standards have gone up.

Pnp. Right out of the bottle is pungent and hot, so I put the cork back in and waited 24 hours. Next day was much better. Smooth drinking with secondary notes of mushroom starting to come out. Pretty sure this will get better and I think it is worth the $70 I paid.
