From one of the region’s all time greatest vintages, rustic, musty and earthy with dried red roses, wet forest floor, dried red prune and red cherry with a sexy and sleek finish.

Good bottle, drinking well and with a very lovely nose. A bit cloudy at first but settled down well. Opened and decanted for about 45 minutes before it really began to come together. Enjoyed with an Iberico Pork Chop, with cabbage and mushrooms at Monterey (E 50th Street in NYC). Brought my own bottle.

Hint of life left for this classic. Dried floral, dried cherry, hazelnut, chocolate, with a oloroso sherry finish. A hint of smokiness and mushroom as well. Really interesting on its own or with some firm cheese

Interesting stuff. Smells like sweet balsamic glaze you’d put into fresh mozzarella with basil, EVOO and sea salt. There’s this mulled red fruit element to the nose and palate as well, married with a bit of campfire smoke and vanilla. The fruit is still there, but a bit hidden. The acidity still shows itself. The finish is that sweet balsamic glaze again.

Should be great, but is quite tired. Not a representative bottle for sure.
