Still going strong. Still has good fruit presence and noticeable tannins; would think will last at least another 3 years or so but definitely time to drink. Katie, Tim, and I were impressed with this wine as it was still drinking nicely by the end of the evening after a flashy 2012 Cade and a wonderful 2015 Domaine de Chevalier.

5 years since my last tasting and I find that time hasn't been too kind for this wine. It's still a decent wine but the oak and fruit have disappeared. Maybe in its dumb stage.

Thought this was going to be big - understatement, it was massive! Port like richness at 15.5% Could have cut a slice! Full on flavour Initial Cherries, Violets and Sawdust Turning to rich black fruit A real blockbuster!!

Still in good shape and enjoyable, but clearly no easy drinking wine. Drank it slightly chilled.
