September 26, 2021 - Forgotten in my cellar for several years and fortunately the wine kept its form, smooth, no excessive wood, creamy, ripe of course, not tired and with a good balance.

May 25, 2021 - Tasted a very long time ago and I found the wood/vanilla a bit too obvious. That hasn't changed, but the wine now gives more complexity besides the wood and vanilla, as a fresh backbone, a smooth taste with an impression of red fruit and a firm but not hefty aftertaste; perfectly drinking now, but absolutely not tired (at least this bottle).

September 30, 2017 - Still pretty tannic, and great balance. Drink within the next year or two.
Black cherry and tobaccoleaf in the nose.
