Shut down today, seemingly still a lot of promise here but this never opened up properly. Could be excellent yet but this may become "will the fruit outlive the tannin".. if yes, greatness in the making.

Incredible concentration here, tons of black raspberry and cassis with a nose that soars. My tasting note says "rum soaked cigars" I think to recognize how rich this seemed. WOTN for me.

Brief tasting, no detailed notes. Very nice nose of anise and spice still. No color assessment, still drinking nicely today.

Funky nose, mid weight and ready be drunk now. Good but overshadowed by other nearby vintages.

Not a good bottle or vintage, one of the two (or in this case, perhaps both).

Nose offers more intense florals in this vintage, and also oddly a slightly celeraic component. Nice today, likely approaching maturity.

End of the night (so no detailed notes), except that this was one of the evening's top wines. Very young today yet.
