April 6, 2020 - I was shocked by the great condition and viviness this bottle have. Medium body, still in good balance, fruits and tannis integrated to a modest acidity. The finish isn't too long but very interesting. I think this bottle could have gone another 5-10 years, but obviously it's past it peak.

November 13, 2017 - Good strong nose but not much fruit left. Only pencil lead, earth and leather.

July 30, 2017 - Garnet in color with bricking edge. Nose of cherries, cola, and hint of leather. Tastes of cherries, plums, hints of milk chocolate and tobacco. Not going to improve, but in a lovely place for the short term.

May 21, 2017 - This wine has clearly seen better days, but it's still drinking nicely. A bit thin, brick colored. Still a bit of bright fruit hanging on. Menthol and fresh garden hose on the nose and entry. Loads of sediment - be sure to filter.
