Bought direct from the winery library sale and in excellent condition. At 17 years old the maturity was shining though. I am not sure this one was built to last but it still had fruit and some mature characteristics and was enjoyable. (Disclaimer—might normally be right up my alley but I have just had too much wine and my palate is shot)

Similar to my last note. At peak but still some nice fruit and puts on weight with air. Really liked it but wouldn’t buy more at this point.

Rich dark fruit, tobacco, licorice and spice. Drinking nicely.

Delicious black cherry, licorice, spice flavors, glycerin, medium-full bodied, long finish. Stood up to hunan flavors.

Just opened about 20 minutes ago - pretty fine with that little air. Dark, thick- smells and tastes great - dinner is about hour away.
