Well, it gave it a good run but I think the run is over. The fruits not gone, but its become darn earthy and not in a pleasant way. Maybe my last bottle many years from now will have burned that off.

Full body, good fruit, balanced, nice finish. Black fruits, blackberry and fig.Some balsamic notes as well. A touch of acidity or spice in mid palate with an extended finish. No apparent tannin at this age. Given notes from others from several years back, the wine has evolved further with pleasant results.

Not as balanced as last bottle. More burnt toast flavors with Mid palate acidity still present. Ok Drinker but last bottle was better.
