Considering the price this is excellent value/price wine. I really liked the nose which set very high expectations that were not meet in the mouth. However the taste is fair considering the price and it would be bargain if it did. What I like on this wine is that considering the age it is still quite woody, however it is not accompanied by brutal fruit and more gentle aged fruit. Tasted already 4 times on this blog 3 times I am referring to my February 2012 notes here and one tasting is from January 2010 where you can find the pics of the bottle. Thjis was my last bottle in the cellar. I remember tasting recently 2010 vintage and it was much frutier.
