Intense Aromas of cherry jam, cassis. Light toasting. On the palate very big and smooth. Lots of dark fruit and very jammy. No acidity, very smooth Tannins. Power wine. It makes fun to drink, but lacks complexity and is somewhat boring, especially for the Price.

Really good bottle, but not as good as 2009. Decanted for about 15 mins before the 1st pour and it was great. However as we drank it over an hour or so it seemed to lose balance and dry out slightly. It was still really good though.

Wow, unbelievably sweet. Tasted more like a port than a wine.

This has smoothed out a lot since I last tried 5 years ago. Less of a fruit bomb, more refined. Drinking really well.

Cork had some leakage and the wine unfortunately had turned into something that reminded me of Lambrusco, what a shame...
