Still rock solid. Strong notes of spice and plums on the nose. Remains quite smooth. Some drinking windows show this at the tail end but after tasting this bottle, I believe there is still some solid sipping yet to come with this one.

It's been a while and the return to this wine was worth the wait. Beautiful ruby red color in the glass. A bit of leather still on the nose but the fruit is showing through. Tannins are calmer but still fairly strong. A pleasant drinking experience.

Exceptional! First time we drank this vintage after many years in the cellar. Tannins were very mild, flavor was even and full across the palette.
