  Still very fresh. Cassis, pepper, raspberry, mint, fresh tobacco, merguez, wet leaves. Nutmeg and baking spice. Another 5+ years at least. Glad I have two more in my cellar. 04-01-2020

  It’s still tasting lovely. A touch of tertiary stuff happening but lots of fruit and no oxidation.

  Drank this at Jade Palace to celebrate the farewell of a colleague.
  
  Beautiful notes of blueberries and prunes on the nose. More approachable and ready to drink than the 04 Folly at this point. The more rustic notes of tobacco, heavy oak, aged leather and mocha and sweet red fruits are starting to give way to a more integrated and wholesome profile.
  
  Awesome wine drinking beautifully at this stage. Drink it with a few hours of decanting if you can afford the time. Won't regret it.

  well made and drinking nicely at the moment with dark fruit and vanilla upfront and a nice full bodied finish. a lot of sediment in the bottle so it should be decanted but it is still drinking nicely.

  Not commenting on it's qualities, as previous reviews do a great job on this, but rather registering what put me off and prevented it to get a higher score. Maybe past its peak, expected more fruit, more polish, less evident weight and no raisiny notes. Other than that, great wine!
