October 1, 2017 - Proper old wine rusty color, forest floor and mushroom on the nose, and a bit of a ferrous note too, but far from dead. Very nice acidity holding everything together.

November 26, 2014 - Light in color and texture, but holding up admirably for a wine never made to go this kind of distance.
