  Second tasting and just as good as the first. Very rounded due to it's age, so smooth as chocolate and raisins going down.
  
  If you've got a lot of these in your cellar, enjoy them soon! They appear to be drinking well, and may evolve a year or two down the road, but they're definitely past their apex.

  Bought a few bottles after tasting this at the winery. Ageing well.
  Dark red, barely tawny. Grapes and prune on the nose; deeper whiff pulls out some forest floor - smells like a cellar, LOL. Loads of chocolate and brown sugar, with an almost "gritty" mouthfeel.
  
  Acids still there, but you can tell a lot of the welcome unruliness normally tasted in young wines has been smoothed out with time in the cellar in this one. Finish is very good. A little heavier than I expected after nosing in, but a nicely satisfying sip.
  
  The winery mentioned I shouldn't go more than a couple of years from now to finish up the bottles I bought - but I believe that won't be a problem *smile*.
