  well i dont think i am into older wines , this is based on similar experience , from another wine.
  But apart from that i still think one should expect an abundance of notes both on the nose and the palate.
  This has not been the case with this bottle i had , tried it in Zalto Universal and Bordeaux glass.
  On the nose there are notes of prunes and iodine brown sugar.........on the Palate i do find dry prunes and it is simply dying out , maybe the bottle is not good.....but i think its past its best time....the colour is brown burnt clay pottery.

  in a perfect spot, cherry, dark fruits, spice, balsamic, flavors go into overdrive in the mouth, adding a wow factor, long finish

  My 11th bottle. Decanted for about 6 hours. Probably drank these way too early as each bottle from the case has gust gotten better and better. Still very dark with notes of bark, sour cherries, red fruits, forest floor and a bit of finishing sweetness. So 10 years should be a minimum and I think it could last another 20. Buried the last bottle derp in the cellar for another 5-7. So I will post another not then. :-).
