Full and ripe. Nose suggests fruit a little over-ripe or baked, and the palate confirms this. Ripe, full, rounded, but the fruit is pruney and baked. Too much alcohol too — the acidity isn't there to balance the 15%abv leaving an over-ripe / top heavy wine that is quite draining to drink more than a glass of. Need food, probably a rich tomato sauce etc. **1/2

This was a surprisingly rich bottle with lots of fruit flavor and very smooth. Wish I had more.

This is a delicious, elegant wine. No sign of being past its peak.
