Had the same bottle this year which was way past its prime. This bottle seem to be still alive with cloudy appearance. Medium+ notes of cedar, toast, smoke, spices. Medium acidity and medim- tannin.

Fresh cork, very good fill. Pale red with brown edge. Nose and palate have clean, Fresh fruit, nuanced with medicinal notes and a sweetness. Acid is fresh enough and there os plenty of tannin. This will last for several more years.

Beautiful deep ruby, nose of dark fruits, tobacco and licorice; full and round in the mouth, with plenty of fruit to balance the tannins, long and full finish. The label said that the producer in 2006 had decanted, recorked and topped up the wine with the same vintage, and so the cork was pristine. I suspect that the many low ratings given earlier to this wine by others may have been with reference to bottlings that had not been so refreshed and restored.
