Well advanced in its tertiary development. Mushrooms and barnyard complement healthy remaining fruit. This wine has performed well over the years. Will drink my final bottle soon.

Final bottle from half case. Drinking nicely in tertiary phase. No rush and no reason to wait. Nice performer for the price.

Dark fruit, black cherry and licorice on the palate. Needs a decant to coax out the nuances.

Corked. Bummer. The other bottle, which we drank last year, was excellent.
