June 9, 2022 - An old wine but much better than the last 1995 I had. Cork was crumbling but still fresh. Dark red colour with some slight aging. Smooth tannins. Some earthy dark fruit flavour but wood box and cigar. A very good wine that I liked

August 19, 2018 - Its getting old. Could die very soon. very dusty aroma smelling of like a paper bag of earth covered potatoes. Started off very aggressive but lost its attack after a bit of air. It smoothed out and became drinkable after an hour in the decanter. really quite nice as time went on. Needs a big steak to keep it company. Some fruit and tannin on the palate but going away.

February 11, 2018 - No formal note. Cork broke in half. Poor quality.
The wine was quite dark and showed some youthful vigour. With about 90 minutes of aeration in bottle, the wine opened up with more tobacco and capsicum. More of a traditional style, with good acidity and lower alcohol. No rush to drink this one is the bottles are cellared properly.
Drink or hold to 2027

June 11, 2012 - I feel this wine is over the hill. I found it uninteresting and with little to offer. It was not actively bad but there were no peaks or contours to its flavor. No interesting scents, either. In addition it has a muddy, swirly sediment which I feel is also indicative of a general collapse - crisp sediments equals crisp definition; both lacking here.

January 18, 2012 - Mature and extremely powerful, full bodied wine, without being fiery. It just contains 12.5% alcohol according to the label. Still a good structure with softened tannins and some acidity. Would not keep my bottles much longer, if I had any. Decant only to get rid of the fine sediments. It does not need any air before poured.
