  Excellent height on a nose of violets, dried roses, prunes and some spice.
  Lotsa flavour in the mouth but a touch one-dimensional - persimmons/orange dunked in chocolate.
  Very dark (90% cocoa) chocolate, coffee and dark plums on a big but medium length finish. Not elegant but generously-flavoured for a 10-year old.
  I'll try waiting another two years (wish me luck) to try the next one as this still has a while to go.

  late day 2 sweet chocolate and a green aspect blend on the nose , the palate is actually something like sweet mild sage with the black fruit playing a lesser part, plush yet green on the palate , heavy sediment

  For the price, one of my favorite pizza wines.

  Drank one of the two in cellar last night - wine was very nice as I remembered from past experiences - good flavor and balance. As others have mentioned here, this bottle had a excessive sediment and when drinking - need too watch out for this in the last glass poured!!
