My last bottle of the 2006 Lolita. Definitely has seen it's better days and is fading fast. Nose of burnt cherries and cinnamon. Sour cherry with a slightly vanilla finish. Very soft mouthfeel.

Nose of burnt cherry and cinnamon. Garnet with fading edges, showing it's age. Strawberry and cherry with caramel on the finish. Medium finish. Alcohol fades with decantering. After 2 hours in the decanter, the alcohol fades into an acceptable range. Drink now, this won't last much longer.

Very Martinelli. medium garnet colored. Very big bright strawberry/root beer fruit still at 8 years with a big dose of alcohol. Clearly not for everyone (especially for Burgundy fans), but a great example if you know what you're getting in for... Actually holding well and may last (but alcohol likely to become more intrusive).

Faded fruit plays second fiddle to the mahogany; reasonable balance otherwise
