  Wow! Amazingly good. Inky black blue color, powerful dark fruit, interesting herbs, balanced tannins, and wonderful oak.

  👀 Deep Ruby
  👃Aerate in glass for half hour. This almost 10 years old vintage opens up beautifully to espresso, black currants, blueberries, vanilla, spices like licorice and sweet Italian herbs. The attack are ripe cherries. Swirling and introducing some air reveals spices and vanilla at mid palate. Finishing with more berries.
  👅 Full bodied, medium intensity, fresh, rounded acidity. Smooth tannins. Well structured. Long, long finish. Rich, complex and elegant. Ready to drink now.
  Note-Do decant the wine as there are a lot of sediment

  Really mellow right now. Quite a lot sediment in the bottle.

  This has tamed significantly since the first time I tried it years ago. Plum on the nose, nice dark fruit, lovely tannins.
