v18. Very good! Soft, dusty , light dried herb nose. Decadent black cherry and blackberry fruit. Slightly bright, soft earthy, mocha finish. Good food wine. — 2 years ago
So thin, it's barely there. Tannins are all gone. This 11 year old is predominantly sour cherry and cranberry, with a bit of apple peel and gravel. But it's super soft. I'm glad I opened this, I think she's hitting her prime.
