  Dull garnet . Wonderful myriad of red and black fruits, beautifully integrated.

  From magnum. Holding on to a youthful deep garnet colour. Pronounced aromatics of sous-bois, Ceylon tea, leather, olive and some savoury 5-spice notes in the background. This showed none of the pruney notes of previous bottles consumed over the past few years which came across as much more evolved. Full to medium-bodied with flavours of dried dark fruit and some cherry notes. Most of the action was on the front to mid palate. Decent length with a bit of grip persisting on the finish. Delicious now but I can't see further upside.

  Tobacco, truffle, potting soil, fresh and dried red cherry, black tea, and dried orange zest. M+ acid. M+ tannin has softened over the 14 years, bust still provides structure. Plenty of vitality remaining. M+ complexity. M+ aromatic intensity. Garnet color, edging toward tawny. Fantastic!

  This still comes across as young. There also was some oak initially, which seemed odd to me. Darker fruit tones, and still pretty stout structure. With air the oak note disappears, leaving a somewhat rich wine, but there is no sweetness, or over ripeness. This is pretty good, and it should drink well for a long time I think.
