  I have four tasting notes over ten years for this wine and this resembles the earliest tasting back in the year 2000 - Fairly complex and medium fullness - black berries and currant turn to a layer of mocha/coffee, with a hint of anise and sage, with moderate finish Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.

  Not much tannin left but the core fruit was still there. Advise drinking soon.

  Interesting experiment, picked some of this up online fully expecting it to be undrinkable and dead, but it was nice. Initial nose of grape jolly rancher candy, then turning to a nice plum taste. Still lots of fruit, although the fruit is aged and has a little raisin prune thing to it its not bad at all, I really enjoyed this whine, nice soft oak on finish a touch of smooth old tannin.
