An aging queen. Wise and beautiful. Decanted for approx. 2 hours before serving. Subtly complimented the flank steak with chimichurri sauce that we served the wine with.

Cork was sopping wet. As soon as I put the corkscrew of my Durand into it, liquid bubbled up. So wasn’t surprised when this was totally oxidized. Such a shame because my other bottles were great.

Amazingly high on neck. Almost like no loss of wine to the angels over time. Cork strong and intact. Virtually no sediment in the bottle. Certainly past its prime, but fading into the night in a very elegant way. Can still taste the berries and fading oak.

Working through a case that I bought. Each bottle varies - this one had almost chocalate and desert wine notes on the nose. Decanted for approx 4 hours before drinking

Still drinkable, but definitely past its prime... ;)
