This wine was probably supposed to be opened 2 years ago. It was already going down and it had no tannins to hold it up. In taste there was present mainly forest fruit marmalade, plums  and sweet spices like cinnamon with slight hint of Indian chutneys. 15% of the wine was aged in used oak barrels.
