Nose: sherry, balsamic, bruised apples, white flower, gasoline, nuts Notes: although the nose is demonstrating some sherry and balsamic like characteristic the palate is holding up really well and offers quite some intensity. After breathing for a while some white flowers began to appear. Although this wine is complex and flavorful I am in doubt if any further development can happen to this wine. All things considered I can't say that I've enjoyed this wine as much as I anticipated and probably would not open another one from the same vintage even if I had the same bottle. This has probably passed its prime drinking time and will be moving downhill from now on. Drink: now+ Rating: 90

From magnum. After a rough opening, the flavors responded and it was great over the evening. Wife says it was too young (33) but I said we have more. Drink/hold.

Boy did it need time to open and then wow. Slightly oxidated. Light amber color, good palate feel and went down nicely.

A little sour. Sherried flavors. Seemed off
