Just the slightest hint of bricking at the rim - leather, old cigars and dried fruits on the nose. Dense and sweet on the palate, this bottle is much better than the last one I had, the alcohol is better integrated. Still quite tannic, and just on the fresh side of acidic.

Still drinking beautifully at age 10, in a ripe and flamboyant style. Plums, prunes, cherries, spice cake, barbecue spice, and roasted earth. Disappeared in a flash at my son's birthday party.

Amazing. Haven't drank such a powerful wine for a while now which was not an Amarone. Loads of dark, black berries, a touch of chocolate in there too. 15.5% alcohol but not noticeable because the wine retained a freshness despite its power. Great.

Past it's prime but drinkable at this stage. Bottoms up!
