Surprisingly still going strong in old age Notes of bing cherry, cola, Black raspberry, plum, white pepper, vanilla, oak, leather, sage and underbrush. Tons of fruit and lively acidity in this large heated Pinot that was dark red in color. Drink now- 2024 but doubtful for any improvement in the years to come.

Big & brawny still. Very intense even 15 years onward. Nice body, deep color, still one for the cellar. Direct from the winery. Will taste the next bottle in a few years time. Black cherry, pomegranate, and ripe raspberry. Still kickin'!

Popped and splash decant...the Botella was ageless...integrated tannins, but still tasted young and deep red in color...another few years to go easily if you have any left

A little flat as the juice had aged. Still much better than a poke in the eye.

Still bright and delicious. Age definitely added complexity. Could still go a few more years.
