Great wine. Delicious. I've kept it in my collection since 2013. Delicious melted cherries. Integrated with time perfectly. I drank it with bowls of Greek Chicken Avgolemon Soup. Splendid. 15 years old and fresh.

Showing some signs of age with some bricking on the rim. Huge nose of red berries/fruit, dried roses, earthy aromas and spices. Still has med acid and lighter tannins. Med body with med+ finish. Primary flavors of ripe fruit, some secondary flavors are now present and tea leaves. This still has a few years left and not trying again for 2-3 years as this will still balance out even more but if have a couple left definitely start opening some now to enjoy.

Tasted with the 2007 Flax which is superior. Overripe / dried fruit dominate with coffee and licorice undertones. Heavy, syrupy and concentrated, but, lacked balance. Needed a decant (1 hr+), not much sediment, can go longer, but, do not think the wine will improve. Drink now.

Dark black fruit and slight oak on nose with medium acidity, more medium to full bodied for a pinot, black cherry, slight red licorice and raspberry on palate with a tart red berry finish 1min+. Not too bad, could def age little more, tasted this about 30min after opening over 2hrs.
