Fantastic aromas of stewed peaches and ripe passion fruit, thicker mid palate finished with minerality (on the saltier side). Oak and fruit have integrated nicely over the past 7.5 years.

Bigger than I thought it would be, but still very approachable. Incredibly long finish.

Solid tannins and bright fruits 11 years in. An enjoyable bottle with and without food.

Nice, tasted good. Very rounded kind of mild taste. Easy to drink, good with branzino. Forgot a lot of tasting notes.
