Beautiful mature bouquet. Creamy and round on the palate. Mainly ripe red forest fruits. Pleasant bit of sweetness and silky soft tannin which is a little bit drying in the finish. Good acidity. I expected a wine which was past its prime, but it was still very much alive. Even the next day it was still a great pleasure with no signs of oxidation.

Not as complex as I had hoped. I have much to learn but there are far better grapes in the cellar.
