In surprisingly good shape. Had to decant (cork crumbled) and it had huge strawberry and purple flower aromas. Tannins were still strong. Big candy-like acidity. Plenty of fruit still left. But a short finish, and the wine closed up after the first hour.

This is a great wine all around, nose taste finish.. Drinking perfectly after a pass through the venturi. Last of the 2006.

Was able to pull some subtle notes of oak, leather and caramel with a slight tart finish of pomegrante. Not bad, but definitely past its peak.

Chocolate, blackberry, toasted oak. Nice lingering finish.
