I remember this wine being fantastic when it was young, but the last decade has definitely not been kind to her. My bad for cellaring so long, I should have drank all of these while they were young and opulent. What was nice ripe cherry has turned somewhat pruney. Structure is gone, fruit is mostly gone. Will work my way up the chain to '08,09 and 10 soon and see if there is a sweet spot.
Tried a new vintage recently that was top-tier.
