  No detailed notes but if you are fortunate to have a large format bottle of this stored properly, it is doing quite well still.

  Plum, leather, dark fruit, and pepper on the nose. Well integrated tannins with fruit flavors on the palate. Good finish.

  Still hanging in there, although I think this is starting a slow but graceful decline; The palate is actually quite densely packed with dark fruits, coffee, baking spices and a touch of cedar, while the tannins are fully resolved; This got slightly less expressive after being open for a few hours, so I would drink these up if you have them

  Dense purple right out to the edges. Initially a virile nose, with aromas of cola, leather and dark berry that resolved rapidly (within 10-15 minutes) to more muted scents of bramble and old cedar. Surprisingly, the acids are definite and with the more integrated tannins has a firm, cleansing mouthfeel. Initial aroma notes translate onto the palate, along with flavors of dark fruit, and spice. Guessing now is a good time to drink the 750 ml bottles and a little more time left on the mags.

  Deep, dark purple with no signs of bricking yet for this 12 year old bottle. I could sniff the nose on this all day - floral notes, dark fruit, and spice. Softened tannins and a rich mouthfeel made this an enjoyable wine with some life still left in it.
