Improvement or not, this is the question. 15 years old this wine is such a tannin boost as if he had quite recently been bottled. Normally this is a compliment in my eyes. But if the tannin is so stiff after 15 years I man not so sure anymore. Still it was a pleasurable moment to drink one or two glasses of the wine and it made me quite curios to taste this in 5 or 10 years, to see what kind of development I might sense.

Still drinking nicely. Blackcurrant and drying tannins, but well integrated, and a medium to long finish. Needs a little air, as it tasted a bit flabby for about 15 mins.
