Seems to have lost a lot since the last bottle I tried. This one has notes of earth, cherry, and cocoa. Lacks the freshness of prior bottles. Might be time to drink up.

First of all - I paid ridiculously low price for this great wine-18.40€. Second - last August I had 1996 vintage and it was fantastic. Let's see what this wine can bring to my tongue and brain. 🕐⏰🕤 A lot of herbs in smell! For good or bad. Sweet flavors of vanilla, plum, blackberry. Also a lot of leather (for good or bad). Taste? Grainy texture!( You like it or you don't). Prune ( I like it), plum, ripe red cherry, coke (?). Soft tannins and acidity. Short, dry finish. ... Second Day of drinking and this wine is definity sweter yesterday. No complain about it. Also bake spices are everywhere. I wish finish was longer.

Dark purple with a slight brown tint to rim. Notes of prune and pepper, with moderate acidity and soft tannins.
