For a bottle I paid $25 for 13 years ago, this is surprisingly good. Black fruit, viscous, good acidity, no tannin, fairly long finish and an interesting spice that I can’t put my finger on.
Having this with a marinated flank steak and grilled peppers and onions. That feels like it could be Argentinian food…
My wife has a much better palette than I do. I’ll ask for her opinion at dinner.

Deep ruby going on garnet. Still some black fruits on the nose with aniseed & raisins. Medium/full bodied, beautifully balanced with long finish Surprisingly still a lot of fruits on the palate, with a hint of sweetness and a savoury edge. Penultimate bottle and I think that this is (again surprisingly) better than in January 2021.

A year since last tasted. Dark ruby. Black fruits, peppers,, spice, vanilla nose. Full bodied, well integrated tannins, Blackberries, liquorice, chocolate palate. Very good wine which I still believe will drink well for at least another 2/3 years, 3 bottles left, will try again later this year or early next year.

Very similar comments to October last year.
Maybe a little less dark fruit and more earthy.
Still drinking well, final bottle.
