I didn't take notes on it, except that it has gone beyond my preference window for it. By some standards, it is still holding up well - dark color, complex nose of dark fruits, but I found it a bit shrill and having lost the roundness of flavor that I would have enjoyed.

Bought this on closeout for a remarkable $2 and thought I had nothing to lose. It was a great choice. The wine has darkened to a glowing yellow orange but shows it has not lost a great deal of flavor while secondary flavors has emerged. Notes of citrus and peach with underlying petrol / chemical. Seems a bit flabby and the acidity has either faded or was limited to begin with, but it shows how well these wines will age. Sweet but not cloying.

Just corked enough not to get a good picture of the wine. Shame.
