This bottle is not as fruity as other peoples' notes indicate. There is some dark plummy fruit, but I also get some minerality, esp. graphite, actually. More tannic than I expected for an 11-year-old wine. Good & enjoyable to drink. Still drinking well, IMO.

This has turned for the worse. Fruitier, grapier, and more artificial tasting than in its youth when i really liked the earthy tannins to balance it. 86-87. Pleasant, but nothing more.
