This wine has aged incredibly well, especially given its modest original price. Clear garnet to the edges in the glass. Soft flowers and red fruits on the nose and palate, with a hint of stone and old leather. Old tannins still provide structure but are wrapped in velvet now. Beautiful by itself but even better as a companion to charcoal grilled lamb chops.

Deep ruby colour; looks like a well aged wine. Lovely big fruit but light on the finish. Stood up better for 16 years than I would have thought for such modest price originally.
Would pair well with mushroom risotto.

Consistent with my previous note of 8/19. Still holding up beautifully. My last bottle. :(
