Drank at Christmas 2009, was really nice, thought I'd put another away for a few years. Unfortunately I waited too long, this wasn't built for cellaring. sour, no fruit remaining, off? it was still drinkable but this really didn't hold up well.

Old world and austere with cherry, tobacco and licorice. The alcohol spikes and the wine is off balanced. A table wine that needs the right food to accompany it.

Corked, something fierce. Tried the cling-wrap trick, which did help, enough to make the bottle drinkable. Plenty of acid and tannic structure; obviously little fruit.

OK with spice, a bit of funk and cherry. Medium finish.
