From magnum. This was an excellent wine that really opened up as the night wore on. Great depth of fruit with really fine tannin and good length. Not sure how standard bottles would be faring but at 15 years of age this was great.

I was genuinely surprised by how good this was. Deep colour with some youthful purple. Aroma was complex with both floral and red berry notes but no obvious pepper (maybe just a hint of white). The palate was soft with enough structure to prevent it being flabby. Mouthfilling with a long finish.

Disappointing wine for me. The nose does not have any charm at all, at least to me. In mouth you get a bit of pepper notes and then fruits (overrippen plum?)... The only re-deeming feature was the smoothness of the wine. Others around the table were much less harsh with it, but no interest for me.

Plenty of age and pedigree with this wine. Old wine developing that old wine taste. Lots of spice and developed oak.
