Color: dark purple/brown Nose: medium intensity. Complex red fruit, although nothing stood out Body/flavor: medium-full body. Lots of dried red fruit. This bottle was unbalanced -- still tannic. Aftertaste: unpleasant hot finish
Have some left and will taste again. Immediate advice -- drink now!

Still a beautiful wine with wonderful depth. Needed a good decant to reveal lovey acidity, rich, old fruit and lots of earth and touches of secondary mushroom and loam notes.

Decanted for thirty minutes. Sun-drenched pottery, still evident ripe red fruit, cedar, mint and used coffee grounds. Fully developed and a slight hint of polished tannin. A medium finish and a core of dark fruit on the floating palate. Drink now.

Good for 20 years old. Still some shreds of life but probably it's best days were years ago. Good color. Mild but still present tannins. Fruit and finish short lived.
