Idk about this wine. There are things I like about it, and things I don't. I feel like it's missing something. The first bottle I had I popped and poured, next to a 2014. The 2014 outshined it. It just never came togetherfor me. I slow oxed this one for around 5 hours and it was much better than the 1st bottle, but still never quite got it. It has a great start, but falls flat in the middle, but then finishes well.

Drinking very well for an sin with 12 years on it. Tannins have all but disappeared. Delicious red and black fruits, as well as anise on the nose. Medium finish and well balanced. Drink now as this is probably within a year or two of its prime drinking window.
