  Even ruby, some sediment. Garrigue and red fruit. Medium weight. This leads with bright red Grenache fruit and finishes with a more savory, dry Mourvèdre-like structure. Impressive vigor for its age.

  Still drinking well,
  Complex , leather and concentrated berry.
  A hint of mineral and bittersweet chocolate but still quite lively.
  Actually quite quaffable. I have to keep to stoping myself from sipping each glass dry.
  Lots of interesting nuances. Good fruit for a 20 year old wine !
  Enjoy

  At its peak or on the downward slope. Delicious mature flavors and aromas. Still some classic chewy macerated fresh raspberry flavors that mingled well with the leathers and cigar boxes.

  Purchased from winery upon release, kept in 53 degrees until now
  Decanted and sipped at over 4 hours
  Soft silky, integrated tannins and fruit
  Probably peak, but doubt declining
  Fab bottle

  Way past its prime, oxidized, likely not stored well (was a gift from friends who kept it for years under unknown conditions)
