  Had a small pour as part of a wine dinner. Some bricking on the rim but generally the colour was quite dark for an older vintage. Nose carried more herbal elements than fruit but there was still noticeable dark fruit in the bouquet. The wine tasted of black plum with a hint of berry. Well balanced and delicious.

  Robust structure, intense pure fruit. Blackberry and bay leaf. Medium to full weight. Long and some complexity - still quite young. Drinking now and over the next 20 years.

  Opened for 30 minutes, no signs of fading. Rich color, somewhat soft nose, floral bouquet. Smooth, well-rounded, less of a fruit profile than what I was hoping, but no surprise given the age. Enjoyed it more as the night went on, but not a complex wine at this stage, and probably a bit past its prime drinking window. Drink up.

  Well rounded and soft. Very enjoyable. Probably passed the peak.
