Similar to my last bottle - loads of delicious flavor, and massive tannins. You have to like tannins to enjoy this wine (although the tannins diminish when this is drunk with food). The wine is a great food wine. There was a little seepage at the top of the cork, but the wine was fine. It does worry me a bit about my other bottles that I hoped to age for a couple more decades…

Outstanding wine. Massive tannins, but still drinks wonderfully even now. Not hot at all on the flavor (despite 14.5%). Lovely fruits.
