Wow, this wine exceeded all expectations ... More complex than earlier tastings ... dark garnet color that is beginning to take on a slight brown brickish color - medium bodied, smooth polished silky texture, berry, red currant fruits with tones of creme caramel that turn to a whisper of licorice on the finish. Earlier notes say this is better than when tasted at the winery almost a decade ago. I think it is better than when last tasted three years ago, although it is starting to show its age in color and taking on a slight bit of earthiness and smoky creosote undercurrent.

Pleasant but nothing special. I believe it is at the end of its life.
