March 26, 2016 - I actually thought this was a gorgeous wine. Incredibly smooth, soft and gentle, with all the dark brooding flavours of plumb and fruit that is 9 years old. Don't expect over flavours like you would with a typical Spanish. This is soft and gentle.
People reckon this should be drunk by 2013, I personally think it has legs for another 5 years.
I decanted it for an hour and had it with steak. The good life.
Mine was not corked. -
