Tried this wine last year (see previous review), and loved it. This bottle also rich and complex. Has beautiful musty age on the palate. Still believe it is at is peak.. mature... and should be enjoyable for another 5 yrs if properly stored. But I might not take the chance. I will drink my cache over the next couple of years!

Mar 25th, 201720 minutes open reveals earthy tobacco and cherries on the nose. Full on the palate with fruit forward... And some age showing. Wine is not a heavyweight, but floral and somewhat light. Ready to drink... Mature.
And because of its medium weight I would not expect this wine to mature much further. Enjoyed with earthy mushroom pasta un light cream sauce... And sautéed fresh tuna with fresh chopped tomato..

Definitely needs decanting. Upon opening, it was a bit in your face. 4 hour decant later, it was smooth and bright
