Didn't expect much given its age and comments thus far, but pleasantly surprised at its smooth and subtle flavor. Not an overpowering nose or wine, went very well with te casual outside gathering.

I concur with previous notes. Nothing wrong with the wine but "boring". Don't remember tasting when younger so cannot compare to what it was. Very little fruit left, some leather but not a lot of evolved secondary nuances. More familiar with aged napa cabernets Sauvignon.

Not as much green pepper on this bottle as with the previous tasting last December. Should have drank a few years earlier, but still a decent bottle. Not a lot of complexity, but a mellow merlot with enough structure to accompany some grilled Weisswursts.

Although far past its tasting window, the wine had aged nicely - a very pleasant surprise!
