The wine looks purple-coloured. The legs are fast. There is no sediment in the bottle. It has a slight mushroom smell. It tastes slightly like a fruity mushroom. The body is medium. The wine has a linear texture. The finish is medium, i.e., it doesn't linger for long. The wine has low acidity. I cellared this for 8 years and while it didn't seem to deteriorate, it didn't improve so I would agree with a tasting window of 1 to 5 years.
