Might be just a little over the hill but still an enjoyable wine. Still has some decent fruit and some earthy notes on the nose. Did improve a little from the first pour to the last. Certainly wouldn't hang on to these any longer if you have them.

Light purple. Nose of cherry, mushroom, and menthol that goes with the light, elegant flavors. Soft tannins, some remaining fruit flavors but these are much more subtle than was present in its younger days. " Burgundian". Balanced, nice , just not very exciting.

I didn't expect much from reading the previous tasting notes, but I was happily surprised by this wine. It had a nice thick mouthfeel, and and increadible finish. The tannins have nicely mellowed out, but the fruit is still there. The flavors are subtle, but elegant and layered, with rasberry in the foreground and subtle minerals in the background.
