An 09 I opened and then vacuum pumped and left for 2 weeks (out of town). It just got better!. Dark and big but not too brawney. Raspberry as opposed to plum fruitv. Nice spice and a just a bit of sweetness — 11 years ago

Very interesting and delicious showing how far one can push and still have freshness even with a fairly oxidative style. Cool. — 10 years ago
