About five years since my last bottle, and it has opened up a bit, but is still quite youthful. Good dark color. Nose of dark fruits. Long finish. Should probably wait another five before opening my last bottle, but not sure I will make it that long.

Fabulous nose to start: blackberry leaves, brown sugar and a whiff of menthol. In the mouth, the berries explode, nicely in balance with acids and ultra smooth, but slightly drying tannins. It’s not rich, rather invigorating. The finish is salvia inducing, seemingly forever. Fresh enough after 13 years to indicate plenty of life left. Unfortunately, this is our last.

PnP. Drank over 2 hours. Held up over that time and was beautiful until the end. Cork in great shape.

Still going strong, with a fair bit of fat, well enough integrated.
