  We decanted the wine for 45 minutes before we poured the first glass. It was very dark purple in colour and showed ripe dark fruits, blackberry, eucalyptus and menthol on the nose. On the palate the wine started off with sweet fruit, mixed berries, blackberry, some cherry, spices and eucalyptus on the initial attack, then fell off quickly until a very long but dull spicy and slightly alcoholic finish kicked in. The medium- to full-bodied wine had medium- to low acidity and lacked complexity. It might improve with some time in the cellar, but I doubt that it will ever become a beauty. Disappointing compared to earlier vintages of this wine. (84 points for now)
