Interesting to drink the wine after one year. Last time I tasted the wine was more than year and half ago here, where you can find the pictures of the bottle. It is amazing that after so many years in bottle the wine is completely black. The taste is almost the same as on the previous tasting, it seems more smooth and aroma of vanilla is surprisingly stronger. I score it the same 89.
