Well! This has finally come round! Just threw it in the basement and waited. Not a sign of being over the hill. Deep red, dark fruit, underwood, vanilla, tobacco, much less harsh tannins than previously. Very nice balance. Is it worth doing it this way? Probably not! Woud drink now if you have any, which you probably don’t!

Birth year wines (plus some extra's) (@ JB): Rustic bouquet with dark and red forest fruits. A pleasant touch of barnyard as well. On the palate ripe dark forest fruits and rustic as well. The tannin still has a firm bite. Straight forward wine, but certainly very good. Can probably last until 2020+.

Still a little bit of fruit behind a thick wall of tannins. Not a very enjoyable wine. Drink up
