  I bought this at auction and I wonder if it got cooked a little bit. It was just a bit too far past its prime to be enjoyable. Some dried fruits, really, no structure to talk of or mid pallet. Very short finish. Tough to judge because I’ve had other force mature that have been fantastic.

  A ruby-purple-opaque colour anticipates intense layers of black fruit of great purity enhanced with liquorice, cola, tar and dark chocolate. On the palate the wine bursts concentration and purity of fruit backed up by polished tannins complementing the wine's dark character.

  For 8+ years old, this wine is big, bold, and rich. Still dark with no bricking, it's got wonderful black fruit on the palate, with a long finish that still has powerful fruit tannins. Very good.
