I have to second the TN's posted here. Just had my second of this bottling, and would echo all of the specifics and might add that there is a touch of pepper on the tongue, and a little tar. Overall, a very good bottle.

I think it is very cool that a 16 dollar bottle of wine can age for 10 years and show so well. Needs an hour to open up. Gotta love these types of bottlings, wish I had purchased more. I think this baby has reached his prime, I noticed a tiny bit of browning on the edges in the glass.
