- Garnet color and aromas of blackberry, black currant and mushroom and has flavours of blackberry and licorice anise with a medium finish - this 1.5 liter bottle had been purchased at the source on a trip in the fall of 2000. Too bad I have not held up as well! While it was not tannic upon first inspection, it did appear young and was significantly more approachable after an hour or so. Velvety smooth, it was the favorite of the night, and the last few tastes made me wish that had not been so frugal on my purchases. In fact, in a large bottle, this wine had many more cellarable years!

Cork disintegrated but wine intact. See 1/2/2010 post. Great stuff!
