blind: medium red, orange edge, cola, wild strawberry, mushroom, smoky meat, smells like a dive bar with leatherette stools, rhubarb, cranberry, milk chocolate, 14.9%
At 11+ years, this is showing so well - just excellent balance and integration. Oh yeah and it looks like tea - it’s so light and transparent. Wonderful wine

Drinking well. Color getting to brick red. A good dose of cinnamon, spice, and sour cherry/strawberry on the palate. Not great with spicy italian as a pairing, but that's not really what it's looking for...

Surprising to see no other notes here given the praise I've seen lauded on this one. Then again maybe not so much so given how enjoyable this wine is. And guess what, no formal notes from me either. That said from memory; light (even at 14.9%), fresh and lively with crunchy red fruits and a spiced, smokey finish. Tight, brooding and structured. It had very lofty expectations to live up to and managed to do so.
