Shocked by the freshness of this wine for 17 years old.

Nose
Pine, dark fruit, menthol, lavender, leather, dark chocolate

Colour
Opaque cherry red

Taste
Medium body, mouth puckering dry, dark fruits, not quite as expressive as nose would suggest

Wow! Feels like this wine has more runway to improve.

This has matured beautifully since I opened my first bottle in 2009.

Nose reveals nice floral notes, earth, cigar box, leather

Deep purple color

Nice round plum fruit, clove, earthy and with something woody going on in the finish. Good acidic backbone. Slight bit of heat.

Really enjoying this.

Opaque crimson. On the nose; lavender, coffee, toast, pine, sourness, gravel, licorice, smoke, dark fruit. Same on the palate as my last tasting note. Nice full fruit plum merlot mouthful with nice acidity at the start; mineral, dusty mid palate, long finish but feels disjointed, bitter and the fruit fades/disintegrates fast.
