  January 13, 2014 - How amazing wine can be. A very good winemaker, an avaerage vintage, and at 28 yrs it comes out of the bottle punching well above its weight. Fresh with some reallly good fruit. Plenty to suggest that it could have gone another 8-10 years, but not necessarily getting better. Although a touch of bricking, still essentially a garnet hue and tasting really really fresh. The wine lifts the palette. In terms of fruit, plenty of red berries, I'd say sour cherry and bilberry. It has some green notes but nothing that takes away from the wine. Maybe a hint of tobacco in there as well. A really pleasant surprise.
