Great wine. Developed in the glass so well. Did not give off much bouquet initially. Fabulous fruit. Seems like it has lot of life in it yet but drinking beautifully.

Fruit still coming through after all these years. Like a lovely Southern Rhone. Probably on its way down but will keep my last bottle for a couple of yrs to see how it develops

Very fruity, downright jammy, even at 17 years old. Notes of ripe blackberries, cordialed cherries, and light cigar and black pepper. Sweet and bright. Soft tannins. Drink now

Really good. The flavor profile still contains a fair amount of primary strawberry jam, along with more mature notes of prunes, leather, and paprika. Tannins are still firmly present. I'm confident I would have preferred this wine five years ago, so I agree with the recommendations to drink now.

Actually delicious. 20 years old. Mellowed. Fresh enough. More in balance than a Charvin CNDP 2007 drunk alongside.
