Crumbled cork, so probably not well sealed. Very "mature". Fully bricked color on the rim. Fruit was very muted on opening but opened a bit with time . Lots of acid and complex forest tastes...mushroom, humic soil. This bottle was past its prime (so my rating is also a reflection of my mistake in losing this bottle in storage), but still enjoyable with lamb chops, asparagus, and sage-butter gnocchi.

Floral bouquet with cherry, red fruit. Later into night, it became more tart cherry. Medium body with some acid - tartness. Didn’t have as much tertiary component or mushroom flavor.
Wife and enjoyed it.

Just delightful. It's all flowers on the nose with flowers spice strawberries, an earthy touch and smooth creamy finish. What it lacks in POWER it more than makes up for in class and finesse. Very enjoyable.

Couldn't wait the three or four years I wanted to last time. But a year later this still is a very pretty wine. The notes are constant. Mushrooms, forest floor and cigar box enveloped in raspberry fruit. Silky and bright with a fairly long life ahead. If you still have some, lucky you.

Still holding up well.

Just ok. Drank from magnum. The earthy notes totally overpowered the fruit. Too much mushroom, not enough toasty earth.
