Complex nose of roses, autumn leaves, dried cherries, camphor and sawdust.
Bold but balanced palate of black cherries, iodine, aniseed and cocoa dust. This is at an apogee and nicely in balanced... A successful And interesting Rolland wine.

Bright garnet in color with a brick edge. Nose of cherries and chocolate. Tastes of Bing Cherries, menthol, dark chocolate and a hint of earth. Lovely purity of fruit for a 14 year old bottle. Tasted better and more precise than the last bottle a couple years ago. At least another 5 years of improvement in this bottle.

Deep ruby in colour with pronounced notes of black mulberry along with slight vegetal accents. Vivacious with bracing acidity with the fruit displaying some savoury edge. Much better with food as the tannins tend to be drying without.

Old, still good color, light purple, good flavor, short finish.

Cooked, probably when I flew with the bottle during the summer. Shame.
