You might think this would be over the hill 12 years in -- but, no. Some light volatility wafts up a big nose filled with sweet roasted plums, zin-berry fruit, some green coffee beans and baking spices. Really ripe on the palate but the acids and remaining tannins provide lift. Great depth of fruit in the middle palate and the finish is moderately long. This is in a really nice spot. Excellent.

Good wine. Color of wild blackberries, almost black, color of wine young, despite having already 10 years. Aromas of black fruit cooked such as Blueberry plum and spices too. Good body, intensity. Long finish. I liked it.

Still very good but hurry up if you have it in your cellar. Has already started it's way down the hill...
