  served almost 5 hours after opening. Very ripe, showing sweet fruit without being too jammy. Toasty oak in the nose, too.

  Raspberries on the front. And lots of it. Lots of herbal notes as well. Green pepper and mushroom. Rosemary and sage. I am actually pretty impressed that this one has so much fruit on the front, but it is JUST on the front. I think that the better days of this wine have passed for sure, but overall I think it is still holding its own....although you need to start planning on drinking these if you have them in your cellar.

  The wine was decanted for about an hour. There were aromas of cherry, fig, sweet baking spices with some dustiness. Unfortunately the volatile acidity began to dominate the nose as the wine opened up. The wine was still thoroughly enjoyable - just at the end of it's window.

  Much more of what I was expecting from this wine. Rich, lush fruit with a heady nose. Where the last bottle was restrained, the fruit in this bottle was almost amped up. Just a bit of heat on the very long finish. Decanted and poured, unlike the last bottle which had a six-hour decant. The shorter decant may have been the trick. All good...except for the price. Still not sure it is worth it compared to some other options at half the price.

  This had been decanted for a long time. An extremely interesting and complex wine. The palate was full of earth, game, mushroom and a little smoke which dominated the dark red fruit.
