After one hour the wine took on weight and continued to get stronger through the dinner. Black cherry and smooth mouth feel with sensual finish. The wine also exhibited old leather and cigar box due to age. We all enjoyed the bottle and there was minimal bricking around the edge. The wine will not get better and I suspect some fruit fade to start soon. Right now it is at the end of maturity and the perfect time to finish it up.

Imbibed as part of a 4 year vertical of RR bottlings including 2006, 2011, 2016 and 2020. Showing its age compared to the others, this had a glyceric shell coating the strawberry, reds and pomegranates. Most correctly identified it as an older vintage blind.

Aged well. Full bodied. Didn’t seem like it was losing flavor

Sadly oxidized despite perfect storage since release.
