We served a 6L bottle of this at our engagement party. The wine had aged beautifully, probably due to the large size of the bottle. I was having too much fun for very detailed notes, but there were definitely some berry and chocolate flavors present.

popped and poured. great nose of coffee, tobacco, cocoa. the flavors followed. very dry. medium finish. did not get better as it stayed open for several hours, in fact, it seemed to loose flavor.

Popped and poured, but nursed the glass for over an hour. Lovely nose of blackcurrants and plums, chocolate (tollhouse cookie nose as mentioned in a review below - spot on), a little black pepper; luscious dark fruit flavors, a hint of vanilla; nice, smooth tannins for structure. Delicious - my palate likes it a lot.

Nothing special here. Light bodied with some red fruit and vanilla notes.

Liked it, however, I think it is now passed its prime. This is a great RTW...just left it for too long.
