eboracum Likes this wine: 89 points
November 2, 2014 - I think that this bottle was at the tipping point before imminent break-up. Its nose and quite full bodied palate were very evolved, rich and very expressive with complex aromas of anise, tar and liquorice as well as residual mature fruit but there was a hint of stewed cabbage which is a bad sign though by no means assertive enough yet to spoil enjoyment.

I will drink as soon as possible the last bottle in my cellar.

Unfortunately, I also do not think my bottle was stored in an optimal way. I bought it recently and I do not know how it was stored. So I prefer not to risk too much ;-)
P.S.: Thanks for the friendship.
