Forgotten in my cellar for several years and fortunately the wine kept its form, smooth, no excessive wood, creamy, ripe of course, not tired and with a good balance.

Tasted a very long time ago and I found the wood/vanilla a bit too obvious. That hasn't changed, but the wine now gives more complexity besides the wood and vanilla, as a fresh backbone, a smooth taste with an impression of red fruit and a firm but not hefty aftertaste; perfectly drinking now, but absolutely not tired (at least this bottle).

Still pretty tannic, and great balance. Drink within the next year or two.
Black cherry and tobaccoleaf in the nose.
