  It’s held up but I’m drinking all mine now.
  Still nice fruit, a little spice and a little chocolate.
  It’s a ripper wine but it’s time is now.

  The wine is still intact and the fruit has a forward sweetness. As the wine opens, it begins to offer notes of chocolate and a slight tobacco taste. It was surprising that the wine has not thrown much sediment.
  
  Still drinking very well.

  Was quite sweet on first taste. But quietly some gentle tannins showed through after a bit of air, and actually had some dryness towards end of first glass. It had held up well. Quite brown in colour, and was prepared to be disappointed when I poured.
  
  It does change by the mouthful. An interesting wine. I suspect it will fall apart for finishing of bottle tomorrow as I am a solo drinker.
  
  Wine was stored in room ambient temp in a clay agi pipe.
