I enjoyed this. Deep and concentrated with a pop and pour but I do suspect this would have been ever better with more air. Big and medium to full bodied with a warm mouthfeel hinting at a warm year, but remaining well balanced. Still fresh and young despite being 12 years old. Lots of black fruits without too much tertiary. A good wine.

Popped and poured. Consumed over two hours. Light-medium body and not showing much initially. Then it opened a bit around hour 2, faint aromas/flavors of red fruits, with light tannins. Overall, thin, acidic, and not showing much. Upside?

Floral and fruity notes, silky tannins, medium long finish, rather dull in the beginning, but quite elegant and lovely after 3 hours of aeration in the bottle, and more importantly, 1 hour in the glass.
