Was pleasantly surprised by this wine given the age. However, was hoping it would open up a bit which it didn't. Easy enough to drink, but nothing special, though really enjoyed the nose on this.

Still a nice purple color in the glass (no bricking). Aromas of dark berry dominated the nose - along with a hint of vanilla. Not as much flavor from the fruit on featured on the palate - instead there was more "vegetal" flavors of green pepper common to fruit grown at altitude. Finish was a bit thin and abbreviated. Not bad overall - but certainly needs to be paired with food - and probably sooner than later.

Drinking remarkably well given its age. Drink up.

Showing its age, but still elegant and drinking nicely tonight. Not much life left in it though, as the fruit is hanging on by a thread.
