Slowly making my way through a case recently acquired. This bottle was much better than the previous one: smoother without the overly tannic finish. If you like Turley's style, this bottle did not disappoint even with this much age. Unfortunately, the bottles in this case seem to be hit or miss.

Decanted this one. Sherry nose and seemed way past its prime when first poured out. Objectionable notes gradually receded over the next 2 hours. This is a big wine but doesn't seem to be drinking as well now as it probably once was.

Very much alive. Pop and pour, spicy cherry nose with some evergreen. Loads of red berries in the mouth with a bit of an herbal presence. Some tannin still present with a short-medium finish. Surprised at how alive this is.

Still has fruit! Decanted 2 hours. Minimal sediment. Quite impressive. Currant and dark fruit. Easy finish.

Has help up extremely well. Fruit and slight tobacco on the nose. Lots of cherry and plum. Well balanced with nice finish.
