Still drinking well, but definitely past its peak. If you like older wine you will enjoy this. Notes of Leather, stewed plum, and baking spices. If you have in your cellar, I would consider drinking now.

Aromas of blackberry fruit with clove, allspice very deep fruit with great intensity. Sweet & Sour mouthfeel that has amazing length, fruit and tannins. Very youthful with many years to go. Great job JL Groulx winemaker!

Last bottle. Decanted off abundant fine and chunky sediment. Full ruby core with a bruised plum rim. Distinctive aged OL nose of dusty red plum and mulberry and quite pronounced bell pepper. Medium bodied, very dry, highish acidity and a respectable amount of extract. Flavours of dried red stone fruits and berries, bell pepper, bark and loam. Decently long finish that is a tad on the stern side. Overall a bit dried out and stalky tasting. Probably past its prime but still drinkable.
