Well it could last a year ;-) But a different wine now - and very close to be too mature. Still a nice dark color, and very nice in the nose. Raspberries and other red berries in combination with coffee and chocolate. A little bit more bitter now than 1 year ago, the sweetness is gone and not so good anymore. Drink now!

Surprised! I had my doubts about this "old" 2003 wine - thought it was "over-the-top" - but I must say it was nice drinking. Rhone nose with dark berries, coffee, caramel, plums and then a lot of dark chocolate - a lot. Palate again filled with dark chocolate - and that really saves this wine - taste really good and has still a lot of it. But is not a huge wine ;-) And it is ready now - not next year.
