Worth the wait... Not long on the finish and a nice wine. Decanred for 1 hour, had a cherry / blckberry tone wit ha little hint of oak. This was the second bottle of 2. The first one I open about 4 years ago and I am glad I waited intil now for the second bottle. Much smoother now but still lacked a good finish but for the price it was a grat value.

I suppose I am a happy guy! I drunk a bottle of this wine together with my wife: it was still very enjoyable. Lot of blackberries with a sweet aftertaste. The oak very well integrated. May be the way this wine was stored plays a role: I bought it in 2000; since then it never went out of my cellar, which has a relatively constant temperature and humidity.
