  December 16, 2023 - Still kicking at 22 years. Decanted and poured. Nicely browned. Nose of violets, herbs, garrigue, menthol. On the palate, layers of herbs, stewed fruit, black cherry, blackberry, currants, raisins smoke and spice. Developed more raspberry and savory notes in the glass.

  April 19, 2020 - Appearance: medium garnet, a little hazy (unfiltered)
  Nose: medium intensity; aromas of meaty, cherry jam, toast, cedar, a little raisin, a little dry herbs. It's past its best.
  Palate: dry, medium plus acidity, medium plus tannins, high alcohol, medium plus body, medium flavour intensity. The finish is medium.
  Overall, it's a good wint but it's too old. The fresh fruit characters have faded away and very subtle on the nose. However, the flavours are not very well defined on the palate. The finish is sort of lingering but again not well defined. The acidity can balance with relatively high alcohol (which is slightly burning). There's a tiny bit of leakage with cork when open, which may contribute to the fading. Good with food.

  December 3, 2011 - Orange-crimson in colour, nose of dried fruits, strawberries and earth floor. On the palate tea-like notes with good fruit structure, soft but present tannins. Finish is nice and long. My first 10-year old wine, lovely! I'm thinking this is the best drinking time; the fruit element seems to be on its way down.

  This has better focus on the nose with sweet fig paste, earth, spices and mineral. Still retain certain level of freshness, structure, slight tannic with just enough fruits concentration for the balance of the wine. Better finish too with dusty, smoky aftertaste that is a little bit dried and hot. Buy - No.
