  Surprisingly vibrant, pleasant and lively for its age. Secondary notes of tobacco, (barbecue)meat, bacon, mint and menthol as well as ripe figs in the nose. Well balanced on the palate. Medium bodied, still good length. Drink with next 3-5 years.

  Mature color. At 15% alcohol, definitely a super full-bodied wine that reminded one of my guests of a mature Amarone. Smooth mouthfeel, sweet cherries, red berries and soft tannins but a bit flabby compared to other vintages I had of this wine, i.e. 1995 and 1998.

  Bright dusty plum on nose, palate on ripe side. Fruit still good but tannins awkward on palate, off-putting on the finish. The new oak treatment shows versus "traditional" wines from the area. From a cool cellar, may give the remaining bottle a couple more years to see what happens with the tannins.

  Last bottle. Garnet with broad orange rim. Garrigue, sweet cherries, blackberries and sometimes even hints of cassis and blueberries. The large amounts of tannin have melted away to a large extend, but the rest is still quite present. Nearly viscous mouthfeel. This has aged gracefully, but is in (slow) decline for sure. Tasted without decantation (decantation of a small amount led to a wine with oxidative sherry scents within less than an hour.). 5/12/17/6 . If cellared under textbook conditions since release, this may hold through another one or two years. From my cellar it has to be consumed now.
