Tried it 5 years ago and again today, now that it’s 10 years old. What a waste of 5 years. Shoulda just drank it all back then and invested in something better for the shelf.

Deep flavour, especially on the very back palate. Almost like I experience most of the taste in my throat. A bit tart, if I'm honest... but I like it.

Red fruit, subtle tar, and subtle green aroma; cooked bell pepper, raspberry, and red currant. Silky front, medium body, and a lightly tannic finish. Super smooth, yet robust for its age. Notes of red fruit, some cocoa and milk chocolate, and subtle smoke.

Very young tannic wine. Could age. Maybe about 10 yrs. never really opened up.

Very tight. But has some fruit. Also very young. Has potential.
