  still a bit heavy and clumsy. Fruit is ripe and oak is still very present. I was hoping this would have mellowed out a lot more at 13 years but still not there. Will it ever get there though ?

  This wine has only one characteristic, oak/vanilla. Tip it away. Wouldn't even use in cooking.

  Fruit forward. Cherry. No tannins. Not remarkable

  deep and smokey. I last tried this 4 years back and it surprisingly hasn’t changed much at all. Concentrated fruit and and fairly strong punch of oak giving a sweetness. A little OTT for me

  An indulgent, delicious wine. Red cherry fruit with chocolate notes, maybe a bit of a parody of merlot, but it's fine, well made, tastes properly and is great drinking, so I'd never hold that against it.
