The wine is very mature and is drinking well. It has an inviting nose and on the palate nice cherry and raspberry fruit. I also like the minerality and subtle oak, plus good complexity. This is my last bottle and I think it is time to enjoy this vintage.

Everyone enjoyed this wine. It was decanted about an hour before we began to enjoy it and it became more expressive over time. It is fully mature with lovely dark red fruits, mellow tannins and balanced acidity.

Eight months after the prior: Again this was more enjoyable upon opening compared to the next two days — by which time it seemed close down and become more muted.

We found the nose rather muted upon opening. But on the tongue, it blossomed within five minutes, showing deep plum, old leather, a hint of white pepper, and a touch of allspice. And a bare and pleasant suggestion of funk. Then the nose blossomed as well. Looking back, and surprisingly, we found this quite fabulous within the first two hours, very good on day two, and fading somewhat on the third day. Overall it was exceptionally enjoyable — but especially so at first.
