January 27, 2024 - Pleasant surprise: Still very lively even though 20 years old, and supposedly over the hill.

February 18, 2023 - on the nose this is rather progressed and aged. I smell some sawdust and sous bois, fruit is rather on the darkish side. maybe not a perfect bottle.
still a bit woody. not quite my style. -

February 18, 2023 - - tasted blind
- Is characterised by dark and ripe fruit, mocha, maggi, sawdust. On the palate it has a "horny" acidity, although present tannins that come across a bit grainy, concentrated fruit in the mid palate and long lasting in the finish.
- For me personally, it is too ripe, almost a bit technical. Must be drunk now, is now on the peak.

gilrbo Does not like this wine:
December 31, 2022 - New Year's Eve dinner. No TN.
Rich and full-bodied and with oak still present. Pushed. Not a style I like.
