Last bottle and they've all been great starting back in 2010. Maybe not quite as nice as the last in 2015 (so much for "try again in 2 years"). Dense, opaque in the glass with garnet edges. Aromas of dark fruits, licorice, graphite, smoke, dried meats, leather, fennel, and dried and and fresh herbs. Light to medium body, medium (+) acid, medium finish, and flavors of dark and dark red fruits, lemon, orange peel, black tea, and minerals. Still nice, but I'd drink up if you still have any of these.

So much better than my last bottle. I was worried that the window might have closed, but I was wrong to think so. Inky purple in color to the edge of the glass. Consistent mouthful of fruit and tannin throughout. Wonderful.

Well developed secondary and some tertiary flavor. Solid structure, acid plus, medium to full bodied. Well balanced.
