  While some folks here experienced "mature" bottles recently and even think the wine is on the downhill slope, my bottle tonight (in 2023) shows quite young. Everything is integrating nicely – baking spices, five spice, juicy black cherry, hints of orange rind – and the texture is supple and fine. Pure pleasure, wish I had more!

  At B....dark and on the decline
  Earth and spice dominate with dark cherries.
  Better with food

  Mature with notes of savory cherry, rose water, dried raspberries, and earth. No need to hold it any longer. Drink up.

  Mature red cherry with earth, savory spice and tobacco. Good weight, good+ length, some warmth on finish. Good now, but better when younger and fresher.

  Dark garnet ruby core that continues nearly to the rim. The aromas are bright and delicate yet robust with notes of roses, raspberries, forest floor, and crushed stones. The palate is similarly complete with flavors of red and purple fruits, earth, and spice. The tannins are warm yet firm and the balance is excellent. Definitely a wine that has aged beautifully with notable complexity and harmony. My last Alesia bottle and the best I can recall.
