Herbal aromas, vanilla, and on the second day plummy. A little spicy. Was ok for our taste. Didn’t love it but also very interesting. Got it at auction, not sure if we would get again. — 14 hours ago

Spicy and hot and has a weird chemically flavor when first opened. Maybe too much oak? It was rather unpleasant. But all of that was gone the next day. It was delicious and really opened up. Next time I’m planning to decant it and see what is the sweet spot. My guess is decant at least 6 hrs. Maybe 8? Got it at auction. — 11 days ago

I thought it was ok, but Babs really didn’t like it. She found it stringent. I didn’t taste it but I was also getting over a cold. 12.99 at WH maybe no next time. — a month ago

Ok the second time. Not sure why I liked it so much. It kind of simple. Not bad for the price but probably don’t need to get again.9.95 at K&L — 2 days ago

Very nice and fruity. Dark. Light on the nose. Not sure… glad I have a second bottle to try before forming final opinion. At 15 years, might be past its prime. — 11 days ago

Rich and full bodied. I decanted it for 4 hours and it was a lot better than the last bottle. Amazing structure after 16 years. Would get more in the future. Nutty and spicy. — 7 days ago

Each time I have this wine I like it a little less. Still ok. Not bad. But we had a very good wine the day before and this just lacked aroma and layers. Still good and still will get again, but just not right away. — 11 days ago
