Strong tobacco and leather smell and taste without any fruitiness initially. After few hours of decant, some dark fruit showed up. Past it’s prime but was interest to taste

Beat your 2018 WOTY Dinner: Tomato leaf, tar, tobacco and blackcurrant. Sweet fruit with good length and balance. In good condition, this is drinking really well now.

Well, we held this bottle for our daughter's 21st birthday but it seems it was certainly not capable of that time. Over the hill, oxidized, but you could tell it was a very nice wine in it's day.

Intense nose of tar and star anise. Dark cherry palate with an Old world minerality. This was a wonderful surprise and was simply delicious.
