January 13, 2019 - The nose is rather rustic, there are notes of stewed blue berries and plums, barnyard and old leather with hints of tobacco in the undertones. The same stewed plums with some sour cherries, smoked minerals and old leather flavours filled the palate which is rich and smooth. Clearly the age of the wine is showing on the palate and the rounded structure. Transitions from entry to finish is slow but there is no gap. The finish, though still has some chalky tannins, is decently deep and lingering. Ready to drink now with just 30 minutes in the decanter as it is peaking and it should stay there for a few more years, hopefully the tannins will be resolved and blend into the structure after that.

November 20, 2015 - Much better than last year. Oak and slightly sweet fruit. Perfect acidity. Will probably hold for several years but is at a very good stage right now and I don't think it will get any better.

December 28, 2014 - Good after a few hours in the decanter, but before that almost undrinkable because of the heat from the alcohol. Ready to drink now but will save my last bottle 3-4 years.
