Last bottle. Starting to show it's age by fading color. Slightly brown hue around the edges. Nose is bright fruit. The fruit is fading on the palate, not sure this will last another 5 years without losing more. Nice sandalwood and rawhide flavors.

I think this vintage has come around very nicely by now and delivers great value (for the money paid at the time). Not the most complex wine, but just really yummy.

Underwhelming. I heard all the Cru Riservas were declassified in 2010 but they did not elevate this wine. Simple but an easy drink. This does not set serve the 90 points that a “fine wine” earns.
Showing some maturity with some dried fruits lovely elegantly on the nose. Doesn’t have the intensity and power of some years. In a good spot. Has softened from my last bottle.

Very enjoyable wine with flowers, cherries and some dark fruits and earthy notes. Very smooth from start to long finish.
