Wine was left in a friend's cellar for several years as I worked abroad. Given that recommended drinking window ended in 2015, I was skeptical of results. Very pleased however. Aroma is red fruits but also slightly earthy. Tannins are very smooth, almost no harshness. Some fruits but also earthy taste. Good finish. The (unplanned) extra years of cellaring, in admittedly very good cellar conditions, helped.

Very good but seems to have lost something over past year. Lemon, peach on palate. Mineral undertones. A bit acidic. Still very good.
