  Drinking very well with the typical minty notes of a matured Thelema Cabernet. Still red and black berries but with a touch of herbs. Green notes that will not dissolve over time. Nice and no hurry to drink up. 90-91

  Just delicious. From a cool vintage so nothing overripe here. The Thelema mintiness a giveaway. Elegance and balance. A fitting bottle to welcome in this rather peculiar Christmas celebration. Chapeau

  M Garnet-mahogany. Plenty of tertiary notes on the bouquet with sandalwood, undergrowth, fungi, dried herbs and some vague black fruits. The palate shows stewed and preserved rumtopf-style fruit, with gritty, slightly chalky texture, and plenty of acid brightness almost too lemon-edged. Very linear mid palate, with fine grainy tannins and great depth of flavour showing remarkably sprightly for 17 years old - touch of mint at the end.

  Brought the Giants victory! Was worried that it might be on the decline but just as forward and minty as all Thelemas have ever been. Lovely dark berry color, and still complex, but with an aged Bordeaux mellowness

  I found this hidden in the cellar and despite being 5years beyond prime drinking age, it is not too bad. Some leather and tar in nose but a faint whiff if fruit still there. Definitely not spoiled but tasty. Muted black fruits with some herbal notes on the palate.
