Cellared since release. The cork fell apart upon opening and so the wine was filtered into a decanter. Bright yellow gold color. Surprisingly fresh nose with oak. Creamy vanilla, oak, coriander, licorice on the palate, perfectly balanced with a very long finish. An elegant wine still very pleasurable.

surprisingly this was still drinkable. just enough fruit, tannin and structure to enough this with some spicy Asian cuisine. Definitely not it's prime anymore, somewhat enjoyable.

sweet notes of vanilla and tropical fruits. Far too much wood
