Incredibly tannic, even after four hours. It was a mess of bruised fruit, high alcohol burn, leather, and tobacco. It’s nine years old and still nearly undrinkable. I’m starting to think it’s just not going to get better. This is my second of six and disappointed

this was almost nostalgic. It was a throwback of how chards were made a decade ago when they were full of oak and butter. Both of those were turned up to 11...balanced but loud. Strange and comforting, but glad this was my last bottle of 2014. The 2015s I remember as more balanced but I haven't drunk those in some time. Perhaps it is more than time.
