I have to admit I was somewhat skeptical that this would have life left, but it is drinking quite well (but don't wait much longer). Aroma dominated by pencil shavings, with a touch of earth. Ripe red fruits, mostly cherries. Vanilla on the finish. There was a bitter note on the end that I didn't love, but otherwise this was quite pleasant.

Pretty tasty. The name is wild, but the wine is fairly tame and good. Warm blue and red fruit aromatic fruit nose. Plush but still firm, and a good mouth full of wine. It is/was quite expensive. The only bottle I have ever had and no more in the cellar.

Reliably enjoyable. Last bottle, sfortunamente.

Soft and suave, with enough complexity to make it a very fine wine.
