September 5, 2021 - Never certain how the older bottles turn out and this one was a very pleasant surprise. Fill was medium high and cork was in good condition. Colour still quite intense; dark deep ruby. The fruit notes jumped out of the glass, forward dark red fruit with mineral notes; still quite primary. The first impression on the palate is the sweetness of the fruit but that is balanced with just right acidity level; amazing balance and intensity on the mid palate and leading to a moderately long finish. Tannins were not notable over the intense fruit. Drank over two hours with no sign of deterioration over that time. I found the wine had a very relaxing influence on me while drinking it; it forced to be in the moment. I do not recall another wine such an effect.
