Still incredibly fresh for an 11 year old wine (especially at $20). The nose is very much dark fruit cobbler with a little crushed gravel and teak on the nose, hinting at age. Palate was surprisingly lively with blackberry, blueberry, wet soil, pipe tobacco. Still actually good on the second day too. Overall pretty impressed with this one given age and price.
