Over a decade in the bottle and still drinking well, but nesting the end of its life. Consumed over two days; red berry aromas, flavors of strawberry, fig, and forest floor, medium finish.

Medium dark color. Modest red fruit nose. Slightly jammy. Relatively smooth, andrelatively low tannin/acid/mineral. Relatively smooth and moderately long finish. Drinking well right now. Agree it isn't likely to get much better. This wine surprised me by being less ripe/overextraced than I expected. Nice wine.

Dark red. Rose petals and berries on the nose. Tight to start, but opened up in the glass after a short while. Fairly well balance with good acidity and soft tannins. Red fruit and berries, hint of chocolate, mild spices, and earthy minerals.

I agree with the assessments of the previous tasters. Drinking well now, I really don't see it improving any more with further bottle ageing.
