Carrying along just fine. The wine I've been drinking over two nights seems to align with the bottles I opened five years ago by my notes below. Maybe a touch more maturity around the edges. No rush. It's still got a lot going on.

Black cherries and blackberries, pure fruit, I had quite a number of bottles of this wine during the years, the « Vieilles vignes » has been all the time elegant, lean and pure. By the way, his big brother of the (Coteau de Noiré) is a different story, maybe too much extracted, but getting slowly together. This VV is anyhow very good now.
