Cork came apart when pulled. Wine is on the decline, still lively appearance red-orange, some bouquet, but the wine is dull, uninspiring, a bit acidic on the edges but without much finish.

Popped and poured. Ruby color, with a faint hint of amber at the rim. Initially some barnyard on the nose. This blew off quickly and after that: full aromas of cherry, blackcurrant, wet earth some mushroom, orange rind and black pepper evolving in the glass. Full bodied with lively fruit and smooth tannins following trough to a long finish that echoes some of the orange rind in the initial aromas. This wine kept on evolving trough the evening. In particular the finish and the mid-palate extended quite a bit over a period of 3 hours.
This wine is drinking great right now. It will hold its level for some time, but I don't expect it to improve. Drink now - 2014

Earthy nose on P&P, but quickly gave way to nice fruit fragrance after about 30 minutes. After a couple of hours it was even better. Long finish, enjoyed very much by friends at weekly tasting. I wish I had more than 3 left.

Unfortunately this wine has passed its prime and on a decline to an expensive vinegar. Nose has a faint medicinal cdp notes but very short on finish.

This is maturing nicely and is in a nice drinking window now. I will drink the rest of mine in the next 2-3 years.
