  This bottle was a gift, given years ago, so I have no prior tastings of my own to go by. I let it breath an hour. It seems to be a bit past it’s prime. Nonetheless, it was very pleasant, with a bit of fruit left. It went well with smoked pork belly.

  Still quite enjoyable. Fruit nicely balanced. Big nose, moderately long finish.

  Still holding its own with nice acidity lots of sweet fruit on the nose and fine tannin. A little shorter on the finish than I remember but wow, this is drinking great. licorice, wood smoke, sour cherry, mint leaves and earthy tar. Complex and elegant, not heavy and dense. Drink now-2015.

  Decanted a half hour, wonderful nose with ash, mushroom, sage, rosemerry, dark prune fruit and earth notes. Well integrated smooth with a long finish. Great acidity and youthful still. Tar, ash, tree root and liqorice on the finish that lasts. Great stuff at peak now. Drink to 2016.

  Alive and kicking! Nicely balanced, soft tannins yet still ging backbone to the wine. Acidity perfectly judged too. Did not get any cigarbox which I expected from Cabernet. Years left I would say. Cannot say if will improve. 9.6 euros / 4cl at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport.
