Woof, awful nose, much better on palate but sort of combines a lot of tannins with a little OTH it thatās possibleā¦just opened at the resto so maybe needs decanting *update* 45 mins of decanting mellowed the OTH but still pretty strong tannins

Stunning! Wow! Wasn't sure what to expect so did a pnp and was good but after about 30 to 45 min after opening, this started to shine!

Holding up very well for a 23 year old wine. Brick color. Surprising Tart taste. Fruit is fading, but good structure still remains. Had with pizza. It was much better without food.
$51.14 from Garagiste.com (a mystery wine)

Overly ripe, quite dense. Tasty, but needs 10 years.
