The wine was still quite dark showing very little maturity on the rim. Mostly dark fruit with plum and blackberry flavours. It did seem somewhat linear and lacking freshness or acidity. I think it is time to drink this up if you have some in your cellar.

Having had cases of Old Vines from almost all vintages, this one is not aging well. It’s become very linear, light bodied, with a rather short finish for an Old Vine Reserva. I’d suggest drinking up soon. And this was bought on release and stored properly.

A bit disappointed with this bottle, perhaps as it was not the first one on the evening (or poorly stored). A bit wobbly and blurry melange of fruit and alcohol without a precise message (my normal reaction with a many Languedoc wines)

At its peak: dark plum, chocolate, cherry and cinnamon flavors. The mouth is exquisite, perfectly balanced.
