Holding up much better that it should be at 11yrs of age. Colour is tired with strong brown hints. Nose is devoid of sweet fruit, rather it shows bitter and sour pinot fruits. A touch of charcoal as well. Palate is quite intense with dry sour fruits coming through. Quite bitter, and again the chacoal character pokes through. On the downward slope but well worth a look.
