Last tasted almost 4 years ago. Drinking at it apogee now. Aromas and flavors of cherry, strawberry, RRV cola, earth, spice and oak. Velvety and smooth in the mouth. A better concentration of fruit than when last tasted. The wine probably should be consumed fairly soon. A good pairing with baked Atlantic salmon.

Again very persistant with previous notes. Drink this cooled is so important - and rewarding. A great drinker now. This bottle actually seemed in better shape and could have lasted propably a few more years

Not like my last tasting, only two months ago. This bottle had gone past its peak and the fruit had dissipated. Glad it's the last bottle. No score.

At peak or just beyond. Should be fine for another year, but don't sit on it.

This wine lasts and lasts; it's even better than when I drank it in 2011. Still has deep fruit with a touch of spice.
