Surprisingly still drinking beautifully. Needed to use the Venturi since at first was very sharp. Deep purple color with black current on the nose. Very jammy and silky with dark fruit flavors, a bit of pepper and a silky finish. The Alcohol content comes out on the finish a bit too much. The wine looks purple colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry, black currant (cassis) and blueberry. It tastes like blueberry, strawberry, blackberry, strawberry, stoniness, vanilla and black pepper. The body is medium/full. The wine has silky texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has high acidity.

Was a very nice wine. Fruits and tannins were subdued. Still a very good wine with lots of flavors and a tiny bit of spice, but past it's prime in my opinion, but still drinking very nicely. I used to get bacon flavor from this wine, which was not there.
