Still amazingly fresh at 14 years in. Ample acidity brings bright cherry and pomegranate to the fore, while there's plenty of woodsy, herbal aroma and a judicious amount of oak spicines. Tannins are in a great, silky place in their evolution. This has at least another half-dozen years of life left in it, easy.

A rare letdown from A-R. There's no there there with this wine anymore. Aroma is faint, palate is fainter. No intensity, no complexity, nothing of interest. I would have expected more longeivity from this.
