Deep dark yet still clear ruby color under light. Tobacco, choclate and rememants of ripe strawberry. Lighter on tongue than expected from color. Gives old eathy feeling. Had cellared it for six years at 55 degrees.

Reading my own TN from three years ago I am quite impressed with its literary qualities. As I am impressed with the qualities of this wine. Noting most of the TNs are from years earlier, I am sampling in the down side of the consumption curve. Dark inky color, meaty, smoky aroma, smooth texture, dark fruit, spice, espresso, meaty texture. It is drinking very well.

Great bottle given that it is supposedly past its prime. Not much on the nose that was discernable. Tasted licorice, tobacco (or was that leather), strawberries and chocolate. Very complex and quite a surprise. Seemed to soften up as time went on.

The affair is over: this wine used to be quite good; it no longer is. The fruit is distorted by some severe chemical barnyard funk. Ended up using this bottle for kalimotxos (wine & Coca Cola); not a compliment to the wine, but still better than pouring it down the drain.
