May 14, 2013 - I remember this wine in its day. The fruit, as noted, is faded. I wouldn't wait any longer, it's on the edge of drink ability now.

July 28, 2009 - same observation as duncan: surprising fruit but would have been better a few years ago.

June 20, 2009 - Still alive with some vigour, but would probably have been even better two or three years ago. Held up well in the glass that evening, but the last third of the bottle faded when left overnight. Mid-red in colour. Still intense sweet plum fruit on nose and palate. Smooth tannins and, surprisingly, cleansing acidity on the palate.

March 13, 2008 - when first tasted, i thought over the hill. however, with time [and food] it put on weight and was enjoyable. i would vote for drinking it up.
