Plum, black berries, some liqueur and cigar box. Still slightly firm, but powerful with good length. Very enjoyable now, and this should easily drink well for at least a decade+.
France, Bordeaux, Libournais, St. Émilion Grand Cru
Intense spice driven aromatic start with ripe and dense black plum and berries. This is a wine I would want to savor over many hours and watch it unfold, but it was still fantastic for the 15 minutes I was able to keep it in my glass.

Lemon peel and grapefruit with faint tropical hints. Moderate weight, very good length, excellent balance. Plenty of life ahead of it.

Lemon custard with buttery biscuits and rich concentration. Good now, but still a little firm, I'd think this will improve in another 2-5 years.

From magnum. Fully mature black fruit with spice hints, nicely elegant but I found it slightly simple.

Simple and pleasant, even if slightly one dimensionally sweet.
