Dark purple colour. Twelve years old, under cork, but time was not wearying this wine. It has another 12 years in it easy.
However, for some reason, I didn't really like it. It's spotlessly made, but I found it too big. It just overwhemed the food we were eating. Others loved it though.
Licorice - you have to like licorice to like this wine. It's pretty dominant on both the nose and palate. There's also blackberry, some red fruits, mint and chocolate too. It will probably gain more meaty complexity too if it was left another few years. It might also soften to a point I could enjoy it more!

Originally had 6 bottles drank the others before doing cellar tracker.
Has one 12-14-2010, open/decanted 6 hours based upon previous experience.
Wonderful over the next two hours. 93 points
