For a 19 year old still holding up very well, under cork. Still good structure, tannins and fruit. — 10 years ago

Big wine, still young, needs decanting for a good couple of hours to start show itself. Big black fruit, and as it opens up, became more red fruits. — 10 years ago

Love this wine I tasted and it has delivered in spades, this wine has years ahead of it, beautiful cassis and blackcurrant fruit, food structure and still has some tight tannins, need to buy more. — 10 years ago
