opened side by side with V. open for an hour before pour. initial hit was caramel- totally surprised by by how good it still was. had with pork loin which was a nice pairing.

Nice wine. Mature but not over the hill at all. Nose and palate brings macerated fruits - cherries, plums - with balance. No really perceptible tannins or acidity, yet lively enough. Our last bottle, and it has aged well. My discrete CT scale: 95-extraordinary; 90-very good; 85-good; 80-fair; 75-poor

Still too old, but there is enough there to recognize what this was at one point in time. Will drink these young if I can find some more in the future. Didn't join cellar tracker soon enough to catch this bottle in my cellar in time.

Clear pale garnet. Strawberry, plastic, anise, cinnamon. Low acids, low tannins. Cherry. Short balanced finish.

Should not have saved this one for a special occasion unless it was in 2007.
