Enjoyed tonight....and definitely not out of the drinking window. This wine has been babied for about 8 years or so. For 12 years old, this wine is incredible. Black fruits gave way to more of a cigar box, pipe tobacco rich wine that used to have a nice purple fruit influence but now is ALL darker fruit. Nice acidity on the finish, but this wine is a rather fruit dominated one. Very impressed by this wine....thought I was going to pour this one down the sink, yet ended up appreciating every. little. drop. One thing is for sure....this wine is NOT going to appreciate anymore in the bottle, so if you have this one, it's best to start drinking up!

Robe de couleur rubis intense ... Nez s'ouvre sur des notes boisées et épicées ... Papilles sur les fruits noirs confiturées ... La finale est persistante ...

Même opinion qu'en 2011, sauf que ce n'est plus mon style de vin et que vraisemblablement le vin a dépassé sa période optimale de consommation. Il a maintenant des notes de réduction et s'approche d'un porto bon marché !

Sweet tannins, smoke and just enough acidity. Pretty nice.
